FAQ/Auction Items

OHMYWORD, a week to go! Busy busy busy busy.

Thank you, Jesus and dandelions, for rockstars in my life to help!

FAQ and not-so-frequent-but-may-need-to-be-answered questions:

You do NOT need to purchase any type of ticket in advance and there is no set "price" for dinner. The pasta bar is available to you for a donation of your choice.

You CAN pre-register for the pageant or you can register at the door. However, if you plan to register at the door, maybe give us a heads up so we can be prepared!  We know several guys have talked about doing it, but we don't know how many of you are man enough to actually go through with it. Let us know ;)

The pasta bar will be "open" from 5:30-7:30, you may come and eat an any time during those hours.

The silent auction starts at 5:30 and will end at 8:00PM. An announcement will be made so you can get your final bids in! You do not have to be present to win, but may need to be present to defend your bid.

There will also be a "Buy It Now" table with new and gently used items.

The musicians will be playing during dinner and then 7:30 kicks off with a bang with a performance by the Smartt Steps Pee Wee company team (including our sweet Brynnie!) and strait into the pageant. Men & Boys "competing" in the pageant please be dressed and ready by 7:15. A "holding room" will be provided.

Um... what else?! Just ask- I'll answer it :)

UPDATE ON THE AGENCY FIASCO:
We have signed with a new agency that we feel good about! A deal was made that resulted in us losing NONE of the money we have already paid! {Enter Arsenio Hall barking!} They are already working hard for us. They have our dossier in hand and it should go to the consulate Monday, which means we should be DTC (Dossier to China) in just over two weeks. They feel pretty confident we will be able to expedite several more steps (PLEASE KEEP PRAYING). We did lose some time, but we are really really hopeful that we can make that back up.

SEE YOU SATURDAY!!!!
