Terentino’s Catered our first Art Auction, WOW and I mean WWWOOOWWW!!! The food was amazing. The apitizer was like a little heaven on earth. It was Cold Hors d’oeuvres they called it the “Greek Trio” and what was in it was; Red Pepper Hummus, Babaganosh, and Basil Feta, Served with Toasted Pita and they only charged $2.25 per person. The food was ready in a flash even though the venue did not have a kitchen. It was amazing to see the crew from Terentino’s show up, set up, serve, clean up, and pack up. It reminded me of some of the military operations I saw while I was serving with the US Army Rangers at Fort Lewis. Very professional and very delicious.
The main course was so beautiful that most people did not want to disturb the artistic display on their plate. It was an art auction and the art was on every plate. When people dug into the meal you could see faces light up with surprise and amazement.
When we had our first golf tournament we had snow and wow what a day on the golf course that was. People had to dig trenches on the putting green to get the ball to go into the hole. Only two foursomes went home early. Jackson Park Golf Club hosted a great tournament at a resonable price. The Rotary Club of Shoreline sent volunteers, the Shoreline Jaycees sent volunteers, North Seattle Community College sent volunteers from the golf team, and we had 72 players registered. The Shotgun Start allowed us to place a foursome on each hole; one through eighteen so everyone could start at the same time.
At the end of the tournament I was approached by an artist who suggested he put on an auction for us. The result was the first Art Auction so They Shall Walk… More about that later. The point of this blog is that if you are looking for amazing food at the right price, this is the place to get it.
More about the golf tournament…..
Four! Let's Play Golf
We had hole sponsors, cart sponsors, a hole in one sponsor, and a marshmallow driving contest sponsor. The hole sponsors got their company logo and website on a sign at each of the holes that they sponsored.
HOLE Sponsors: One sign was placed at the tee box and another near the green so the golfers would see who sponsored each of the holes. In addition the hole sponsors were featured on the tri-fold brochure, the tournament posters and on the website.
CART Sponsors: Two signs were placed on each of the carts they sponsors. The first sign was on the front window of the cart and it was double sided so each of the riders in the cart could see the sponsors logo, website and a special offer for the players. By offering a special offer the sponsors get the players to come into the store or visit the website depending on where the sponsor wanted to drive traffic. One of our best cart sponsors was the www.SnoqualmieRetreat.com that had a special discount for the players.
Massage envy sponsored the golf towels and provided free massage all during the registration period, the tournament, the silent auction and prize session at the end. Each player that registered got a golf towel for wiping off the ball, club and hands. There was a goody bag too that many of our sponsors gave 75-100 items for us to put in all the players bags and items for the silent auction. Massage envy also offered a couple of massage certificates that we were able to combine with a great chef for an in home dinner and massage for two package.
