Community Social & Fundraising Auction

May 6th (2017)

Date details +

    The Ottawa Shambhala Meditation Centre will be holding a fundraising social and auction.  The proceeds will be going towards some recent purchases and to assist in building the reserve for the future expansion/relocation of the Centre.

    The live auction promises fun and high drama! You don't have to be a high roller in the auction to have a great time!  Please join us. The success of this event goes in hand with the participation of many. Please mark your calendar and set some time to attend. The event will be kick started by a silent auction, which will include many of the Centre’s inventory of stored items. Following the silent auction, our very own auctioneer, Rhéal Delaquis, will animate the live auction starting at 2:15 PM until the depletion of items for sale.

    You can contribute to the list of items for sale. Can you make something to donate? Do you have something lovely but not quite right for you? Tickets you might not use? Services to offer? Friends or business associates who might donate?

    Donated items can be dropped at the centre during the week leading up to the May 6th auction. If you need assistance getting your things to the centre and/or are uncertain if something you want to donate is appropriate, please contact David Fowler at [email protected]. If you could be available on May 4 or 5 to transport items please let David know.

    Refreshments and light snacks will be served.

    Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday, May 6, 2017 at the Ottawa Shambhala Centre Auction.

    Programs without a price are free. For those programs with a price listed, please do not let price be an obstacle. Visit our generosity policy page.

    When available as an option, your generosity in offering the patron price helps cover the costs for others who are not able to pay the full price. Any amount offered above the Program Price is considered a charitable donation to the centre, and will be included in a tax receipt issued by email in February of the following year.

    For programs that have a register button, it is helpful for us if you can indicate your intention to attend by registering ahead of time. In order to prevent duplicate entries in the Shambhala Database, all registrations are reviewed before you will receive a confirmation email.

    Our Refund Policy:  For convenience you can pay online using a credit card via PayPal. If we cancel the program for any reason, we will give you a full refund. We understand that sometimes after you have pre-paid, you might be unable to attend.  We will be happy to refund your payment if you request it at least 24 hours before the program starts.  Due to the difference in PayPal charges for purchases and refunds, we charge a nominal amount of $5 for a refund.
