Dear Friend of St. Patrick’s Mercy Home,

This is your invitation to our 3rd Emerald Auction and Dinner. This night of friendship, fun, laughter, and fundraising happens again on Thursday, September 16, 2010 at Holiday Inn St. John’s, 180 Portugal Cove Road.

As in the past, the event will be packed with non-stop entertainment as our professional auctioneer entertains our guests. There will also be musical entertainment. Join in the live and silent auctions and get your raffle tickets before or after you sit to enjoy a three-course meal with wine. At only $60.00 per person (tax and gratuity-in), it’s a night you won’t want to miss! Don’t forget a charitable donation tax receipt for $20.00 is available, upon request.

I want to thank you for your past support of our fundraising efforts for the residents of St. Patrick’s Mercy Home. Your support enables us to provide residents with some of the necessities that enhance their quality of life…..it helps us make St. Patrick’s ~ their home away from home!

Over the next several years, the St. Patrick’s Mercy Home Foundation has committed its fundraising activities to replace, at a cost of $6,000 each, some of the 51 manual beds currently in use at the Home. In addition, money fundraised from our events will continue to support the purchase of Christmas gifts for the over 200 residents here at St. Patrick’s.

Be a part of our community and join us at our 3rd Emerald Auction! If you are unable to attend, a donation in support of our effort will be greatly appreciated.

To arrange for your tickets today, please contact Jim Byrne at: 726-2687 ext. 229 or via email at: jbyrne@spmhf.nl.ca We are happy to reserve tables for groups.

Tickets are limited. To avoid disappointment, call early.

Kindest regards,

Rita Janes
Chair of the Board of Directors
