WE ARE AS GREAT AS THEY SAY WE ARE.....

"I have already heard many positive comments and accolades about our auction from both parents and staff." 

Dear Mr. Lindsay:

I can hardly find the words to adequately express my genuine gratitude.  Your generous gift, of your time and talent, to the students of Woodward Academy was an unexpected surprise.  And, then when I heard the news regarding how much money was raised at our Parent Recognition Luncheon and Auction, I was simply amazed.  Our Woodward Academy family in now more enriched because of your skills as an auctioneer and to due the generosity of others who contributed with your gentle prompting. (Smiles!) 
 
I have already heard many positive comments and accolades about our auction from both parents and staff.  And, those who were unable to attend are already asking whether this will become an annual event.  Not only was this an incredible fundraiser for our school, it also a whole lot of fun!  I have never seen our parents, staff and Board members so excited.

Thank you again for your unforgettable, generous gift.  It does not occur often enough in life that someone takes the time to share his time and talent with those who are less fortunate.  And, for this we are all truly grateful.

Kenny, you are the greatest!

"We Could Not Have Done It Without You!"

"They Enjoyed Your Skill And Humor..."

"Mr. Lindsay,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your part in making our first auction a great success. Many of our guests had never attended an auction and your easy and approachable manner, humor, and professionalism allowed everyone to have a comfortable and fun experience while contributing to the overall financial success of our school.

I also thought you should know how appreciative we were for your handling of our guests. As a Christian school it was a step of faith to "trust" you with a microphone in front of our parents, teachers, students, and friends of our school.

We are so thankful for the people that approached Lisa Rance (Vanna) and myself to express how much they enjoyed your skill and humor and wanted to know if you would be back again next year!

Thanks again and may God bless you with health and wisdom."

Director of Development and Finance

"...We Raised A Substantial Amount More At The Auction Because Of Mr. Lindsay And His Crew Than We Would Have Otherwise"

April 16, 2007

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a letter to recommend the services of Kenny Lindsay and Lindsay & Vander Kolk Certified Fundraising Auctioneers.  As part of the logistics committee for a fundraising event for the Junior League of Ann Arbor, I had the pleasure to work with Mr. Lindsay for our live auction.   His pre-event advice was excellent, he was flexible and very knowledgeable.  The night of the event, Mr. Lindsay and his crew were prompt and professional.  His auctioneering skills get the highest marks from us.   He was fun, lively and judged the room well.  We raised a substantial amount more at the auction because of Mr. Lindsay and his crew than we would have otherwise. 

I highly recommend the consulting and auctioneering services of the American Eagle Auction & Appraisal Company.

Thank you,

Carly Stevens
Junior League of Ann Arbor
