A Tremendous Success! The 4th Annual Auction
Over $70,000 raised for our 1999 homes and families!
November 15th at the Seattle Design Center, about 300 guests enjoyed the
International Theme of Seattle Habitat’s 4th Annual Auction. In addition to three
silent auctions and a live auction, guests learned more about Habitat’s International
emphasis. With the help of colorful flags and descriptive literature, our generous
donors are more aware of what their gifts are doing, both locally and
internationally.

Pam Schell (pictured left) took an active
part in the evening, while auctioneer Kip
Toner, assisted by announcer Paul Ford,
kept things moving. Trips, jewels, rugs, and
more were all available and sold,
culminating in Seattle Habitat’s most
successful effort. Plans are underway for the 5th Annual
Auction, scheduled for the spring of the year
2000!
