Greetings Friends and Supporters,

As you may know, the FVRL Foundation’s annual Author’s and Illustrator’s Dinner and Silent Auction is scheduled for Thursday, October 16, 2025, at the Vancouver Hilton.

Each year, Friends groups are given the opportunity to submit up to five items to be included in the silent auction.  We then receive the proceeds from the sale of these items, which in the past has generated anywhere from $400 to over $1,000.

In order to keep our expenses to a minimum, we count on donations, which we use either as a separate piece or as part of a themed basket.  We greatly appreciate all the items that members have donated in the past, and are once again asking for your help.

If you have any new or gently used items that you no longer wish to keep, please get in touch with either myself, Toni Rimer (tonirimer@yahoo.com) or Jeanne Androvich (jeanne.androvich@mindspring.com).  We will consider all donations and let you know if they can be used for our auction items.

Thank you for your generosity and continued support!

Toni Rimer, chair
Special Fundraisers Committee
