Candlelight Dinner and Auction
Home Tour—ONLINE TICKET SALES ARE CLOSED
Candlelight Dinner—SOLD OUT
After Party Experience—TICKETS AT THE DOOR ARE
$50
Friday, April 13
The 2012 Candlelight Dinner & Auction will be held
Friday, April 13, at THE LODGE, 1435 Beall Street in
the Heights. Often referred to as Houston Heights’
social event of the year, the evening begins with a
preview of the tour homes from 5 to 7 p.m. (before
they are opened to the public that weekend).
Massoud’s Catering will provide a delectable meal
and there will be an open bar flowing with fine wine
and local beer. The chairs have arranged for live
music and dancing to begin at 10 p.m.
If shopping therapy is what you seek, hundreds of
silent auction items will be available, including
artwork, jewelry, home décor, vintage and antiques,
spa packages, getaway packages, prestigious
packages, sports tickets and memorabilia,
restaurants and bar packages, and much more. Bid
for a chance to win something fabulous for deeply
discounted prices—and the proceeds benefit the HHA’s
many ongoing projects in the neighborhood.
The featured artist this year is J. Antonio
Farfan, who was born in Mexico, educated at
University of Houston, and has done independent
study in Paris, France, and New York City. Farfan
has created a stunning 5’ x 5’ oil and
acrylic-on-linen work to be offered to the highest
bidder in the Live Auction. His work can be viewed
at
www.jantoniofarfan.com.
A new feature this year, the After Hours Party, will
take the fun into the wee hours with a door prize, a
local band and dancing. More information will be
available soon. Visit
www.houstonheights.org for updates.
Individual tickets are $125 (open seating) and $1250
for a reserved table for ten. Invitations are mailed
out for this popular sell-out event in March 2012
and are available on a first-come, first-served
basis up to 500 guests. You may go to the shopping
cart now to purchase your tickets.
The auction will close at approximately 10:30 and
guests are encouraged to check out and take their
auction winnings with them that evening. If you are
unable to stay until that time, you may pick up your
auction winnings the next morning, Saturday, April
14, between 8 a.m. and noon. This pick up time is
very strict as we must have all auction items out of
THE LODGE by noon that morning.
