"....the Kingsbury rolodex now has only one 1 entry under "Auctioneer".

Kenny,

From our perspective the Auction went very well.  While I am disappointed in not having as many "high end" items as in years pass in the Live Auction -- that was certainly not anyones fault nor for lack of trying -- more related to the depressed nature of the local economy (especially the car companies).

As it relates to you and your company -- I would have to give you very high marks. Highlights for me include:

I could go on -- but you get the picture.  If I hear more or different at tonight's meeting, I will pass the data points along.  Bottom-line was that you more than earned your fee and we are now big Kenny Lindsay fans.  If you need me or us to act as a future positive reference, please do not hesitate to ask.  And, I can pretty confidently say that the Kingsbury rolodex now has only one 1 entry under "Auctioneer".

-Sincerely,

Mike R
Chairman
Kingsbury Country Day

"Thank you so much!!!!! You were fantastic and I heard a lot of good things about how you really brought the fundraiser to life! It was actually fascinating to see you at work!!"

-Patty Schneider, Chairman for the Chimpouoras Benefit Auction
August 2007

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."

-Kent Darcie, Director of Development and Finance, Macomb Christian Schools

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!

Georgia Hubbard, PhD

"His professionalism, sparkling sense of humor, and vast knowledge were very well received and entertaining for our audience. He contributed greatly to increasing the bidding price for our live auction items, thus helping us earn more money for our playground."

".....in a relatively short time you were able to pull together advertisements in key publications, send out more than 1,000 postcards to prospective bidders, create an auction video, conduct an extensive telephone campaign and generate substantial exposure on the Internet. Of course the crowning touch was the national publicity you generated with the press release ...............

"The attendance at the auction exceeded our expectations and the proceeds generated were in line with our estimates. It was particularly satisfying to see that the high value items consistently brought in as much or more than we anticipated, and that all items were liquidated.

- Paul Cogley, ASA (Wychovia Bank Representative)

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a letter to recommend the services of Kenny Lindsay and the 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 raise 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 auctioning services of the American Eagle Auction & Appraisal Company.

Thank you,

Carly Stevens
Junior League of Ann Arbor
