Dover PTO Hosting Semi-Annual Auction 'Bonanza'

The Dover PTO will be holding a "Wild West Bonanza" auction to held fund enrichment programs, scholarships and equipment at the Chickering School.

In the Chickering School lobby, several of the the wonderful classroom projects have been put on display. Kindergarten classrooms painted Adirondack chairs, first-graders painted bookcases, second-graders decorated clocks, third-graders jazzed-up lamps, fourth-graders made collages, and the fifth grade autographed their class photo. 

These items will be raffled off at the auction which will be held at the school on Saturday, March 31 from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. 

This year's theme is a Wild West Bonanaza and those attending are asked to dress in their most casual cowboy clothing - jeans and cowboy boots.

The event will feature a full dinner provided by Blue Ribbon BBQ and there will be a cash bar. Families and businesses have generously donated items to support the school. There is something for everyone - lessons, dining, vacation stays, kid's parties, golf outings, tickets, camp, yoga classes etc.  

The live auction features several getaways, as well as some "priceless" items such as a tailgate party with eight tickets to a Patriot's game, food, beverages and a Tom Brady autographed football. Or, a VIP package of special access passes, memberships and gift certificates to the best of Legacy Place. Or, you could bid on an autographed drum from Chickering alumni and recent artist-in-residence, Leon Mobley. 

Over thirty items will also be available for bidding online including two tickets to a Bruins game on March 29, an overnight stay at the Onyx Hotel in Boston, classes from Needham Martial Arts, dining at Chiara, a six-month membership to the Kingsbury Club and ten sessions at the Exhale Spa in Boston. 

These items are only open for a limited time. Visit www.biddingforgood.com/chickering to bid and win items before the event.
