Lawrence Humane Society Update: September 29, 2011
Tomorrow is the 2011 Pawsible Dream Benefit Auction!
We hope you'll join us tomorrow for a fun evening in support of animals in need. We're celebrating "Mardi Paws" and with food, drink, music, and lively bidding, it promises to be a blast!
For those who've attended in the past, here's some new fun for this year:
Normally, all Silent Auction categories will have closed before the Live Auction begins. Not so this year – our special section, the "French Quarter," will remain open for silent bids until the end of the night. Here you'll find awesomeness like view-level infield seats to a 2012 Royals game, a private party for up to 75 people at Abe & Jake's, a framed/autographed Cole Aldrich jersey, and more.
(And we didn't even mention the hundreds of regular Silent Auction items up for bidding.) Wow!
Also new in 2011: each paid admission receives a free raffle ticket for a chance to win tickets to the Kansas vs. Oklahoma State men's basketball game on February 11. You can purchase additional tickets, too, with the drawing to be held at the conclusion of the Live Auction (must be present to win).
We posted our complete list of Live Auction items for the 2011 Pawsible Dream – here's just a sample of the great items available to the highest bidder:
Branson Family Vacation
This two bedroom, two-and-a-half bath condo sleeps six, with a fully furnished kitchen. Amenities include pool access, playgrounds and BBQ pits, catch and release fishing, tennis and basketball courts, and a gym. There is also an 18-hole golf course and club house on site. It's five miles from the Branson strip and two miles from Silver Dollar City. Included in this trip are two passes to the Ride the Ducks excursion, and a $40 gift certificate to Billy Gail's restaurant.- Take-Home Chef
The winner of this package will enjoy a four-course dinner for six people, prepared in your home by Chef TK Peterson of The Oread. All the winner has to do is provide libations for the party, then sit back and relax as Chef Peterson (and his lovely wife) serve you like royalty!
KU Football Suite Package
You'll receive two tickets to the Kansas vs. Kansas State football game on October 22. No need to worry about the unpredictable Kansas weather because you're also getting two passes to enjoy the game with a spectacular view from inside the OrthoKansas suite!

(Or, just show up tomorrow and pay at the door.)
Thank you for your generous support,
