Steller Parent Group has become very instrumental in fundraising at Steller.  Last year the Parent Group brought in over $20,000 to help with programs and activities at Steller including Souper Steller, funding travel intensive scholarships, funding Passages and Peer taught classes, buying mats for the acro-balance club, technology purchases, doing a complete over haul on the website, and providing food and paper products for events. The Annual Auction is by far our largest fundraiser of the year.  Last year the auction brought in over $14,000.  It is very important that we make sure that this event continues to happen.  Please click HERE to read more about funding at Steller.

We are looking for at least 3-4 people who will step up to be the leaders of this project.

These people would work together to plan, solicit donations from the Steller community and beyond, and organize our volunteers.

Currently, the same small group of people  have been responsible for planning and organizing the auction for the past three years.  We know how it is done and have gotten good at it.   It is time for us to pass the reins but if a team of people will step forward we will lead them through the entire process and be full time team members this year. We never have any trouble finding enough volunteers to donate items, bring food, set up and clean up, and do data entry.  We also receive help from the 11th graders who help with work and organization.  What we need are leaders. Time commitment includes weekly meetings for the 6 weeks prior to the auction and one or two meetings before that.  There are two work days the week before the auction and at least 12 hours the day of the auction.  Extra hours here and there are required depending on specific tasks. The auction is only 2 months away (that is plenty of time) so we need to hear from people in the next week.  Contact Rebecca Johnson at beckinak@gmail.com or 240-8907 or Wendy Woolf at paww@alaska.net. If no one steps forward the auction will not be happening this year and the expertise that has been accrued will be lost.
