The Great Big Dig for the IWK took place last Saturday, and I have some thank you's to give out:
So...
Thanks to Chrissy Nickerson of CN Fine Art. Chrissy has been a friend and client for many years, and she donated a beautiful painting for the silent auction. Chrissy is extremely talented and her work was a popular item - it sold for $1000!
Thanks also to Relax Dinner Parties. Relax is a new catering company that specializes in stress-free dinner parties, a new client for Compelling, and one of the chef-owners is my brother Adam. Relax donated a six course dinner party for eight - valued at $1000 - that was bid up to $1300! Thanks Adam and Geoff, you're item was a hit.
I'd also like to thank John Abbass of Econo Color Photo. John donated a framed print of Moxham Castle in Sydney, a popular item with many of the Capers at the event. Thanks John!
A great big thanks also goes out to the Nova Scotia Community College, Academic Chair Gary MacNeil, and Chef Instructor Deb Connors for their donation of a cooking class for six taught by a culinary arts instructor. Also a popular auction item with the crowd, the NSCC cooking class sold for $700!
The Great Big Dig could not have been so successful with the generous support of the folks above, and the 100+ businesses, organizations and volunteers that came together for this special night and special cause.
Take a bow!
