Silent Auction for Catmandu Carson City

09/10/2019

I have been meaning to let everyone know the final results of our auction. We raised $916.00 from bids for the paintings and many people gave a little extra when they picked up their paintings. i did not keep track of that, but I want to express my sincere appreciation for all who participated and supported our effort to help Catmandu.

As of 8:00 tonight the auction is over. This is the first time I have tried something like this on Facebook and I have learned quite a bit. One of the things I learned was that somehow people were bidding in multiple locations and I hope I have found them all. If I did not find your bid and it was higher than the winning bid, please contact me and I will be happy to re-paint the picture specifically for you.

I will be posting the winner on the individual photos in the photo album that was for the auction.

Painting can be paid for and picked up at Catmandu, 1829 Brown Street, Carson City, tomorrow, 8/31/19 at 3:00pm.

Thank you all for your generous bids and supporting such a wonderful organization as Catmandu.

Buy a beautiful work of art and help the cats of Northern Nevada at the same time by participating in a silent auction to benefit Catmandu Carson City. All paintings are the work of Cindy St. Hilaire.

Here's how it works:
Each painting is posted individually. They are on display in the Revenue office of Carson City DMV. If you see a painting you like, enter your bid in the comments. Bidding closes August 30th at 8:00 pm pacific time. On Saturday August 31st we will meet at Catmandu where payment can be made and painting(s) picked up. If you win the bid and are unable to join us on the 31st other arrangements can be made.

I support Catmandu because last year on September 1st I found Raja under my front porch. He was just a few days old with his eyes still closed and ears curled up and weighing in at 4 ounces. Over the last 11 months Linda and other volunteers at Catmandu have provided excellent advise and guidance to help me raise Raja. To show my appreciation I am donating my paintings for a silent auction to raise funds for Catmandu Adoption Center and Sanctuary in Carson City. Catmandu's motto is "You do what you can do."

Most of the paintings being auctioned were painted by me during classes taken at Picasso & Wine in Reno and Carson City. The classes are lots of fun and very easy. You too could paint any of these yourself. Check out there calendar. Maybe I'll see you there sometime.

I have never done anything like this so please be patient and let me know if there is anything I have not addressed or if you have any suggestions to help make this more successful.
