A whole lot of Green & White, and Maize & Blue, and just about every other color combo that triggers warm feelings of the glory years.

We offer you a very sincere and warm welcome to Help Support the Home Team, the Tailgating theme for the 23rd Annual Oaklawn Benefit Auction. We hope you enjoy your nostalgic walk down Memory Lane as you search for unique treasures and friendships old and new. We are very pleased with the bid packages you will find in this book and we are warmed by the support of our donors who made it all possible.

Be sure to come dressed in support of your favorite “home team.” High school, college, professional, your kids’ travel hockey team…have fun with this. If the English Premier League is your thing, hoist one high for the lads (and then bid it like Beckham!)

As this year’s chair, I am pleased to announce that last year’s very impressive computerized bidding system is back. My sidekick, co-chair Ryan Traver, has once again helped orchestrate all this and we are all very grateful to him. From the feedback we received last year, our supporters found the system to be fun, graphic, and easy to learn and definitely something that should make a return.

As you’ll recall it has many of the features familiar to on-line auctions, including the ability to post secret maximum bids. Best of all, bidding is quick, and there will be ample terminals. Smart phones will also work.

The Auction would not be possible without the en¬thusiastic involvement of the many volunteers who give countless hours of their time and talents.

We express our sincere appreciation to them for insuring the success of this event. In addition, we would like to extend our deep and sincere thanks to the wonder¬ful donors listed throughout the catalog. They too have given generously and graciously. Please sup¬port them. The Auction – like Oaklawn Hospital – truly reflects a community effort, and we’re grateful to all of you.

Enjoy the evening and again, THANK YOU for your participation and support of our wonderful commu¬nity hospital.

Bid entry is simple and user-friendly and special features will allow bidders to easily monitor the progress of multiple items. Bids for any item may be placed at any terminal. The progress of a single or multiple items may also be tracked from any terminal. Just like on ebay, it’s possible that many people may be bidding on the same item simultaneously and a few items will have a Buy It Now price.

2. Since bidding will not be possible after the auction closes bidders will want to be sure to bid like a big-wig alumnus in the waning moments. Freshmen will be left behind.

3. After payment has been made and a receipt issued, Committee Members will assist winners in claiming their purchases.

The Live Auction

This year the Live Auction will begin at approximately 8:00 p.m. (that’s right, we’re not even going to slow down for halftime!) and will continue without interruption until all items have been sold. Live Auction items may be viewed starting at 6:30 p.m. To enter a bid during the Live Auction, the bidder simply needs to raise his/her program, with the back of the program facing the auctioneer, so that the bidder number shows, signaling the auctioneer’s attention. The bid should be made promptly. The high bidder will be acknowledged by the auctioneer.

Raffles At this year’s auction we will be holding two distinctly different raffles.The first raffle, sponsored by HBC Contracting, will be our traditional “Buy raffle tickets” raffle conducted by ticket sellers walking amid the auction crowd throughout the evening. The first place prize will be a 60” VIZIO Razar LED TV, and the 2nd prize is an iPad mini with Case & $50 iTunes Gift Card. Tickets will be sold only at the auction at a cost of $5.00 each or five tickets for $20. Ticket sales will stop at the beginning of the Live Auction, with the drawing for the winning ticket held at the completion of the Live Auction. The holder of the winning ticket does NOT have to be present to win. The second raffle this year is the “corn hole toss” raffle. Staffed by Judy Byam and her astounding crew of volunteers, with their assistance you get to take a shot at that classic tailgating favorite, the beanbag toss.

Take a single toss for $10 or show ‘em how it’s done with three tosses for $20. After your tosses have been made, your points will be converted into raffle tickets.

There are three raffle prizes for this year’s event.

1) Football Field Corn Hole Toss & $100 Shell Gas Card 2) Weber table top propane grill w/stand 3) Sterling silver bracelet You may drop your tickets entirely into one raffle prize jar or you may divide them into any (or all) of the three prize jars. You may put them into the jars at once, or use a little “raffle strategy” and come back periodically throughout the night (but before the drawing!) and place them in the appropriate jar, thereby utilizing a ticket layering technique. The drawings for the three prizes will be held at the beginning of the Live Auction. Winners must be present to win.

Wine Pull Various donors have contributed bottles of wine with a value of at least $10.00, on up to some of very special heritage. Selections will be on display in sleeves to mask their identity. For $20 per choice, guests may select bottles throughout the evening, which will be held at the Wine Pull Station until 8:55. At that point, participants will reveal their choices to see how their investment paid off. A chart at the station will indicate the estimated value of each selection.

This Catalog Once again the generous outpouring of support and the contributions from our faithful donors has made this amazing array of goods possible. Read carefully, plan your bidding wisely and let the rivalry begin. Attack like it’s Harvard vs. Yale and as always, a lighthearted approach helps!

A final note on the author…

Our sincere thanks goes out to Terry Lake, a man with true loyalty to the Oaklawn home team, for his extreme generosity and countless volunteer hours of authoring and arranging this catalog. Be sure and send a mighty cheer in his direction when you’re sitting at home and some of that locker room humor makes you want to stand up and do the wave. The good ones can take a while sometimes.

Four - 18 Hole Rounds of Golf w/cart Q: How do you make Oregon Duck cookies? A: Put them in a big Bowl and beat for 3 hours. Oh, the Duck jokes! But Duck Lake Country Club is no joke, it’s the real deal when it comes to great golf and tons of fun! Did you know that Duck Lake Country Club was established in 1922 as a 9-hole golf course with an additional 9 holes added in 1968? The golf course architects were Tom Bendelow in 1922 and Art Young in 1968.

Tom Bendelow was born in Aberdeen, Scotland and worked extensively with Donald Ross in the early 1900’s. Mr. Bendelow was responsible for designing over 400 courses in America from 1895 to the early 1920s. Among his accomplishments outside of Michigan are Medinah #3, Medinah IL and East Lake Country Club in Atlanta GA, site of the PGA Tour Championship. It’s a true golfing gem, hidden right here in our neighborhood! Okay, one more “Duck” joke. Q: Why do Oregon Duck golfers have TGIF on their shoes? A: It reminds them that “Toes Go In First”!

Four season passes to What A Do Theatre Like all great ideas, What A Do Theatre occurred by happenstance. Ed Creech returned to Battle Creek in October 2009 for a family wedding and, on the way to reception, he and his wife ventured downtown. Ed, born and raised in Battle Creek, moved to Chicago upon graduation from Michigan State University, so he hadn’t been back downtown in more than 20 years. It struck the couple how no one was enjoying downtown on this gorgeous, autumnal Saturday evening. Ed casually suggested to his wife a live professional theatre would be the ticket to bring people downtown. For most people, this is where the thought would have ended. Ed, normally, would have been no exception save for the fact he had just taken a sabbatical from teaching and had yet to find a project that excited him the way teaching had. What A Do turned out to be

that project. Battle Creek turned out to be that place. And, What A Do Theatre became the right idea at the right time.

The motivation behind the name What A Do is more than just a bit on a late night talk show. What a do is a Southern greeting, a way of saying hello and at the same time asking what’s going on or how are you. It’s friendly. It’s engaging. It’s welcoming. It’s What A Do Theatre. An escape for every one.

This package offers four season passes for the 2013-14 season which begins August 2013. Includes all main stage, second stage, workshop and Improv Group performances and all cabaret shows. What a Do is a Non-Equity Professional Theatre.

Reservations must be made before each performance.

Tailgate Toss - University of Michigan Bean Bag Toss Game Sometimes the best games are also the simplest. Corn, meet hole. With that mantra in mind, bean bag sets are small, light weight, easy to transport, and versatile. You can take your game from the backyard to the tailgate in the blink of an eye.

Cornhole is simple and safe enough to play without supervision. You can even set the kids free and not worry about a fly ball making its way through a neighbor’s window. If adult company is more your style, you can toss your board in the car and head to the tailgate faster than you can fill your cooler.

Like a quarterback sliding up under center, cornhole is so easy, even a D-Lineman can do it!

Paying homage to the Heat’s “white-out” tradition at big home games, Skullcandy delivers a headphone worthy of Miami’s fashion forward mindset. Brushed white suede with subtle embroidery across the top of the headphone make this a design any DWade fan will crave. Skullcandy does their part to help you be as smooth off the court as DWade is on it. Blissfully contribute to the demise of your hearing as you blast your music through the Skullcandy Hesh Headphones. The Hesh Headphone’s earcup uses a monstrous 50mm power driver and a sound-boosting dome shape to produce studio quality sound at an affordable price. A soft leather headwrap and earpads make non-stop rocking comfortable, or at least until you need to recharge your iPod. When you’re on the subway, at the stadium ticket window or just waiting for your mom to call you for dinner, adjust your music’s volume with the in-line control to hear what stop you’re at or if it’s time to eat! Whether you understand what the garbled voice says over the intercom or if it’s a “meat loaf” shreik is another matter.
