DINNER ADS:
Want to put an ad up during dinner and be on DCDC’s website all year?
We can’t do what we do without the support of our local businesses and professionals who understand the importance of the civic engagement of our citizens. Help us help you by placing an ad in our program.  This year we will be going digital! We will be projecting a video loop of our sponsor ads on a large screen throughout the dinner and will also maintain the same ads on our website’s dinner page until next year’s event. 

And you don’t have to be a business. An ad shows your support — include your name and a message, or be anonymous. Ads are our main source of funding for local candidates and Get Out The Vote efforts.

Place an ad in our digital dinner book

DINNER AUCTION:
Local Services, Art, and Goods Auction
It is a crucial election year with several county Supervisor, State Senate and Assembly races on the line. With this year’s Dinner we intend to raise $15K to support our local candidates’ run for offices across Delaware County!  You’ll be amazed at how much Delaware County has to offer!  Each of the items and services are available to the highest bidder!  

Donate an item or service to the silent auction!
You don’t have to be a business to do so.  If you have a skill to share or anything else you can imagine others might bid on, contact us at crzsmart@aol.com

Have something truly spectacular? A vacation home in Fiji, a spare Picasso in the closet, Grandma’s tiara?
A live auction featuring special higher ticket items will round out our fundraising efforts. Not sure if your place in Lake George qualifies? Well, yes it does! But to be sure contact our Live Auction Coordinator Volunteers, Jim and Cindie Smart at: crzsmart@aol.com to be sure. They look forward to hearing from you!

VOLUNTEER:
There’s always room for more helpers at DCDC!  We need people to help decorate, to collect Silent Auction items, to collect sponsor ads, to sell tickets, to spread the word, –the list is endless, so if you think you can do any of those things, contact Kathleen Hayek at: chair@dcnydems.org.  She’ll be glad to help get you started working with us!

We appreciate your participation in making this event a success. Money raised helps us support our local candidates’ campaigns.
