Margarita Man + Moe's Fajita Bar Party Package! ($329 value)

noreply@blogger.com (Tracie Broom) — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 09:00:00 +0000

We're very excited about this fun party package, which will be up for auction on Feb. 26, 6pm at the WildeWood tennis center:

Fajita Bar and Margarita Party for 20!

Moe's Southwest Grill at Sandhills has graciously donated a catering gift certificate for a Fajita Bar for 20, and Margarita Man of Columbia will come to your party location, set up a frozen margarita machine, and come pick it up afterwards!

MMMmm, Moe's...
Our silent auction host, Anne Postic (a.k.a. The Shop Tart), won a similar Moe's catering package for 20 at an auction last year and absolutely loved being able to use it to throw a party for her eldest son's soccer team. The food was really good, too!

MMMmm, margaritas...
Husband and wife team, Heather Smith & Jeff Kane have run the Columbia-based Margarita Man since November of 2010.

Auction planners Debi and Tracie met the very friendly pair and tried the Margarita Man's frozen cocktail treats at the recent JDRF auction. The verdict? Totally delicious!

Their machines are easy to use, require no clean up when you’re done, and can come with a variety of flavors including: strawberry daiquiris or margaritas, rum runners, pina coladas, Louisiana hurricanes, tropical punch, goombay smash, raspberry ritas, mango ritas, banana daiquiris, lemon freezers, peach ritas, painkillers, dreamcicle, blue raspberry, watermelon, mai-tai’s, sour apple, sangria, mojito and mudslide. All flavors can be made with no alcohol for kids!

They help you mix your first batch at time of delivery and show you how to make future batches. They also leave clear printed instructions. Your guests can serve themselves so you can enjoy the party and let the machine do all the margarita – making! NO ICE IS NEEDED!

Organic, Pro Chef Cooking Class for 4 w/Individual Wellness Assessments - $1000 value

noreply@blogger.com (Tracie Broom) — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 05:02:00 +0000

A classically trained alumna of the Ritz-Carlton San Francisco, the New England Culinary Institute & the Kushi Institute for macrobiotics, Roxanne Koteles-Smith teaches organic, anti-inflammatory cooking and helps many clients get through cancer, lupus, & diabetes with markedly better results.

Tracie, one of SVEF's auction consultants, literally lost 10 lbs of all-over inflammation in 9 days of re-programming her eating per Roxanne's recommendations, and Tracie's cousin got through breast cancer chemo with no nausea and no pain thanks to Roxanne's nutrition remedies. Her doctors and nurses at Baptist were all amazed. We are very excited that Roxanne has agreed to donate her wellness services to the Spring Valley auction!

Through her Food Wisdom Rx nutrition consultancy, she offers clients a deep, interdisciplinary understanding of food ingredients, traditional & macrobiotic culinary models, nutritional science & physiology.

The transformations that result — both physical and mental — are awe-inspiring.

The prize: a gluten-free, organic cooking class for 4 in Roxanne’s chic studio kitchen in the Village at Sandhills, as well as a personalized, in-depth Oriental facial assessment for each attendee to determine specific wellness goals with action items for moving forward.

And thanks to all of that French culinary training, her low-calorie, high-nutrition foods -- including the vegan, gluten-free desserts -- are actually really, really delicious.

Bonus!

Value: $ 1000

Keith Urban tickets at Colonial Life Arena, June 23, 2011!

noreply@blogger.com (Tracie Broom) — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 18:09:00 +0000

So maybe you like Keith Urban's music, maybe you think he's a rather handsome fellow, or maybe you just love the glittery star-power he possesses simply by being actress Nicole Kidman's husband.

Whatever your reasons, get excited: we're auctioning 2 Keith Urban tickets at this year's Spring Valley auction!

Keith Urban live
Colonial Life Arena
Thursday, June 23, 2011

Critics have called Urban’s shows “one of the best reasons in the world to attend a live concert.” They’ve said that fans would be “hard-pressed to find a better country - or rock - show anywhere.” Urban’s catalogue of hits; “Better Life,” “Somebody Like You,” “Days Go By,” “You’ll Think Of Me,” “Sweet Thing” and his latest, “Put You In A Song,” combined with an all new production will give his fans a unique concert experience that has earned Urban a reputation as one of music's best live performers.

The tour comes in support of his sixth studio CD Get Closer, which was released just this past week. Get Closer follows two previous consecutive Billboard country and pop #1 albums, as well as five previous CDs, all of which have been certified platinum or multi-platinum. His last effort, 2009’s Defying Gravity, produced five Top 5 hits, including chart-toppers “Sweet Thing” and “Only You Can Love Me This Way,” bringing his total of #1 songs to eleven.

Regular Keith Urban tix will go on sale via the Colonial Life Arena the day before the auction, Feb. 25, 2011 at 10:00AM. But all you have to do is show up to the Spring Valley auction on Feb. 26 and bid on yours!
