Wine Auction
The 79th Annual CMAA World Conference on Club
Management in Honolulu, HI, was a highly successful Conferences, and the CMAA
International Wine Society did everything possible to contribute to this success.
The Society’s silent
and live auctions raised approximately $30,000 to benefit The Club Foundation.
This
tremendous accomplishment was made possible through the hard work of action chairmen,
Art Barajas, CCM, and Oliver Boudin, CCM. These gentlemen gave countless hours
planning and assembling the Auction and soliciting donations from managers, purveyors
and friends. Many thanks on a magnificent effort!
Furthermore, the Wine Society
Chapter Representatives deserve to be recognized for their tireless efforts to
gather and ship donations. Without such generous, high-quality donations, the
Wine Society auctions could not have been such a phenomenal success.
Each year,
the Bucky Trophy is awarded to the chapter that donates the most wine by wholesale
value to the auctions. In 2006, the winner of the Bucky Competition was the Metropolitan
Chapter. The Metropolitan chapter contributed substantially to the auctions and
collected the honor of the trophy and an education grant from The Club Foundation
for its efforts. Many thanks to all chapters, purveyors and individuals who graciously
made donations to the International Wine Society auctions! Additionally, many
thanks to the Wine Society for its support of The Club Foundation through its
auctions! |
