JHM Autumn Gala and Auction
October 26, 2006

The JHM Autumn Gala and Auction is on the horizon.  This event is the Friends Board’s primary fundraising event.  It’s a win-win event—Support the museum while having an entertaining and fun time with others.  This year’s art work will be more expansive than in previous years.  Many of the pieces from our coming exhibit, Past, Present, Perfect, will be included in the auction.  These pieces were created to reflect artifacts from our collection so they will be particularly interesting and appealing.  We also have some works by Coshocton notables Benton Clark and Benjamin Blackson.  Besides the live auction, an extensive silent auction will offer more artwork plus gift packages and special services.  The primo gift item last year was the Ultimate Dinner Party for eight.  Chef Bud Moore and Jeanne Keenan prepared the gourmet meal while Dan Barnes entertained the party on piano.  An Ultimate Dinner Party is on the block this year as well.  Around 200 items will be auctioned.  There will be, without a doubt, something for everyone!

The Museum doors open at 6:00 for a social hour that includes scrumptious hors d’oeuvres and fine wine, compliments of Rainbow Hills Winery.  This is also the time to preview the artwork and bid on the silent auction items.  Bidding auction begins at 7:00; silent auction bidding ends at 8:00.

Don’t miss this opportunity to support the Museum’s educational programs while enjoying a unique experience.  You may find just the right item to add beauty to your home or to give as a gift.   At the very least, there’s sure to be a special gift or service with which you can treat yourself in the Silent Auction.  To purchase tickets ($15), call the museum at 622-8710.

You will soon be receiving renewal letters from the Friends of the Museum Board.  The Museum is dependent on folks like you to keep the doors open, the HVAC system cranking and the activities staffed (And that’s just part of our operating costs.)   We’re doing everything we can to keep our expenses down—annual budget is only around $150,000.  JHM is your local resource for arts and culture.  Please give us your generous support.

Helmets off to Lisa Martin who is shown standing next to the plywood Samurai she painted for use in Museum programs.  Its next appearance is at Apple Butter Stirrin’.  Bring your cameras and grimace.
