Ottawa, September 11th, 2009: To collect funds to continue to better serve the community, Action-Logement / Action Housing has organized, its 5th Annual Benefit Cocktail. on Tuesday, September 29th, 2009. The organizers will take this opportunity to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Action-Logement / Action Housing. Madam Janet Yale, Executive Vice-President and National Chair of TELUS’ Community Boards, gracefully accepted the presidency of honor of this event. As a new and exciting aspect of the Benefit Cocktail the very first Silent Auction which is now being organized by our volunteers, will be held as part of the event.
The Silent Auction will showcase thirteen paintings, sculptures and jewels, for which a reserved minimum bid will be given; this bid can vary from $100 to $250. Every participant can bid as often as he or she wishes, the amount of the bid being always left to the discretion of the bidder. Bids will be accepted during the Cocktail up to 6:30pm, when the highest bidders will claim their works of art.
This auction is special due to the artists who have agreed to participate. . Many of these artists have been ”on the street” or have experienced precarious situations in housing, We are proud to be able to showcase six of these artists so they can be better known by the public. We are very grateful that they were kind enough to lend a hand by offering a variety of their works.
It is noteworthy that all the artists have gracefully agreed to contribute 50 % of the amount of the sales of the evening to Action-Logement / Action Housing. This colorful evening will offer the participants the opportunity to purchase exceptional works of art while meeting artists, some of whom have left their artistic signature throughout Canada, the United States, in Europe and in Asia.
Thus we invite you to attend our Cocktail (see the web site www.action-logement.ca for the purchase of tickets) in order to place your best bid and run the chance to leave with the art work of a “social artist” of our region.
For more information, call Denise Lemire, person responsible for the Auction, at 613-749-5975, ext. 202 or denise@documentsetc.ca.
Action-Logement / Action Housing recognizes the great value of the support and the participation of the artists during this Silent Art Auction; we thank them warmly.
