The Ballroom at TWELVE Atlantic Station
Join HSMAI Georgia Chapter for our annual signature hospitality industry dinner event! Invite your friends, family, and clients to spend an evening bidding on auction items valued from $25 to $1,000+. Toss your quarters in the bucket, waive your numbered auction paddle, listen for the GONG, and be prepared for lots of fun and laughter as we celebrate The Year of the Ox, HSMAI Georgia fashion. It’s a special evening at the Ballroom at TWELVE Atlantic Station with a portion of the proceeds benefiting CURE Childhood Cancer. Don’t miss it!

Donate items to be auctioned away!
The success of this auction depends on the support of our community. We hope you will consider donating items such as weekend stays for two, spa treatments, gift certificates, dinners or rounds of golf. Any donation will be GREATLY appreciated.

As a donor, you will be recognized on-site and in the Chinese Auction PowerPoint (running on two screens throughout the Auction). Hurry, time is running out! To be included in the program, the deadline for receipt of gifts is September 1, 2009. Please send it in today!!!
What is a Chinese Auction?
Each attendee will receive a list of donated auction items and a numbered stick. Quarters can be purchased by each attendee so they may bid on items which range from $.50 to $1.00. The auctioneer will ask each attendee to place their quarter in the bucket, located in the middle of each table, if they would like to bid on the item. If the attendee bids on the item, they hold their numbered stick in the air. The auctioneer will begin at random calling out the numbers of the people who bid. Meanwhile, a gonger is on the stage and is unaware of what numbers are being called. Whenever the gonger likes, he bangs the gong. The last number called by the auctioneer wins the item. This continues until all the prizes are won.
