The Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support’s Seventh Annual Jingle Bell Dinner and Auction is Saturday, Nov. 28 at the Lopez Community Center. It’s your chance to bid on some of the finest our community has to offer.

This year, artists, businesses, and residents have generously donated more than 30 amazing items to raise money for the organization. Just a few of the offerings:

Have your best furry friend immortalized in a custom pet portrait by internationally known artist Marc Foster Grant; dinner and wine for eight by Bruce Botts and Vita’s; and two amazing wooden bowls by T.J. Anderson.

Quilts, pottery, paintings, Mariners tickets, massages by Heidi Strong, dessert of the month donated by Haven Kitchen and Bar, a stepping stone by Tamara Buchanan, and other items are sure to please.

New this year are three special experiences: a weekend at Westport, five nights at Solitude Ski Resort in Utah, including lift tickets, and our biggest item, the Ultimate Hawaiian Dream Vacation – seven nights overlooking Kalapaki Bay on the island of Kauai.

“Lopez has been so generous and happy to help,” said Fons Wynen, co-chair of the auction. “The Jingle Bell Dinner is our biggest fundraiser of the year. We’re hoping people really ramp up the bidding to raise money for Hospice and Home Support.”

Proceeds from the dinner and silent auction will benefit Lopez Island Hospice and Home Support, allowing us to help our neighbors in times of illness, grief, and loss.
