January Workcrew Meeting UPDATE

Sunday February 1st at The Refuge @ 3pm

 

FJWC Galentine’s Day Auction

 

We are just over a week away from Auction and many of you have yet to register. Remember, the ticket cost is included in your membership dues, so it’ll cost you nothing to “purchase a ticket” on the site.  

Auction is Wednesday, February 4^th from 6-9pm at Lakeside Country Club.            The registration deadline is next Friday, 1/30!

Register now so you can attend what is sure to be a terrific event. The silent auction, raffle and heads or tails items are rolling in and we cannot wait to show you all we have.   

When you register, consider buying your drink tickets now.  The event is cashless/cardless and we will only accept Zelle the night of, so add drink tickets to your order so you can use your credit card and save time waiting in an extra line at the event.

Active members, get your guest registered!  Don’t add them as a guest to your registration or they’ll be bidding using your credit card. Send them the link for them to register themselves. Remember, this is a fundraiser AND a membership drive event, so please invite a guest who can come and learn more. Plus, the more the merrier for a fun party, right?

Also, please add a credit card to your account. If you don’t do it now, you’ll be stuck at check in, waiting in line to add it the night of the event. No one wants that.

Check back in to the auction website to see a preview of some of our featured items on Wednesday 1/28!

 The auction will go live on Monday 2/2!

Please also sign up to volunteer if you haven’t already. We’re so pleased with how many of y’all have already volunteered.

And of course, make sure to plan your perfect Valentine’s Day Chic outfit. The dress is upscale casual and you’ll see lots of pinks, reds, hearts and bows and ladies in both pants and dresses. Wear what makes you comfortable for a Galentine’s Night Out.

For the most up to the minute auction updates, make sure to follow FJWC on Facebook and Instagram. We will have item previews and reminders starting this week.

Now get ready to eat, drink, be merry…and bid!
