Anchor Ball: March 10, 2012
Don't miss our annual fundraiser for Saint Clement Parish, benefiting both the church and the school: Saturday, March 10, 2012.
We’ve booked the much-talked-about, new luxury hotel at the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel Chicago with its terrific cityscape views from the ballroom. You can count on great music and food and wonderful prizes and experiences to be auctioned off. The Saint Clement community has a lot to celebrate, and we know how to do it.

Auction Items Needed: Deadline Feb.10
We need auction items that will crank up the party and heat up the bidding. Could you or your company donate one? We need high value things for the
Live Auction. Things like resort vacations, collectibles, a Bears sky box, celebrity meetings, fascinating experiences—things people daydream about. Contact
Carol Deely.
For the
Silent Auction, we need all kinds of fun, surprising and treasured things, but they can be smaller and go for lower bids than in the Live Auction. Help us gather jewelry; apparel; memorabilia; dining; professional services; memberships; tickets to games and shows and special nights out. Getaways make great auction items—do you have a summer place to lend? Contact
Lori Benvenuto.
