Auction of Promises 2010
Mid-winter get-together & fundraising event on 5 Feb 2010.
YOU PROMISE – WE AUCTION – ST. ALBAN’S BENEFITS
The first time we held an Auction of Promises, we raised over DKK 35,000 for the church. We want to do it again and have chosen a date in the depths of winter, after Christmas and before Easter. This is a time when we all need to get together and cheer each other up.
UPDATE
- There are still tickets (available on Sundays in church from Pauleen Bang or Claire Clausen) for sale at 40 kr. per person, including food. Drinks at very reasonable prices.
- Deadline for donating promises 24th January 2010
- Deadline for sealed bids 18:00, Thursday 4th February 2010
Please start thinking about what you would like to ‘PROMISE’ and the approximate value of it, and then either submit it here on the website or contact Pauleen Bang or Claire Clausen at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

When is it? 6pm on Friday 5th February
If you haven’t already noted this in your diary, Please note the date: Friday 5th February (in the evening). The venue will be St. Ansgar’s Parish Hall on Bredgade (5 minutes from St. Albans). The event will be open to members of the congregation, their family and friends.
We have decided to make it a variation on a “wine and cheese” evening with extras, to cater for most tastes.
There will be a small entrance charge to cover the cost of the food, and drinks will be available at modest prices. There is room for up to 80 people in the hall and tickets will be available from the beginning of January 2010.
