Interim’s 35th Anniversary Hoedown for Housing
October 2, 2010, 6 p.m. at the Embassy Suites, Seaside
This high-energy event helps Interim provide affordable housing for single adults with psychiatric disabilities. In 35 years, we have built 17 housing projects that more than 220 adults with mental illness call home. But our work isn’t done. We still have a long waiting list, so we need to build more housing! With a casual cowboy barn-dance theme, the Hoedown is a fun, high energy, high visibility event that both men and women enjoy: cowboy hats, boots, jeans, and kerchiefs are more comfortable than tuxedos and gowns! The event includes a BBQ dinner, music by the Cachagua Playboys, a silent auction, and some good-old-fashioned line dancing and square dancing.

Auction Items Needed
The Hoedown also features a fun-filled silent auction, so we are looking for auction items. If you are a local merchant, this is a great place to show your wares. Signs on the auction tables will advertise auction donors, and donors will be recognized on our website (if they choose to be) and in paid advertising following the event. The following types of items are known to be really popular among auction aficionados:
| Vacation Packages | Jewelry | |
| Hotel Accommodations | Event Tickets | |
| Restaurant Gift Certificates | Service Packages | |
| Wine | Food Baskets | |
| Gift Certificates | Golf Outings | |
| Gift Baskets | Behind-the-Scenes Events |
