February Update

Front Page News
In case you missed it, here’s a link to the article that ran in the Loomis News and Auburn Journal earlier this month:

Jump In! Auction Dinner
Sunday, May 18, 2014
At the Blue Goose in Loomis
Tickets: $40 available in the Del Oro office or the Loomis Chamber
or call Grace Kamphefner at 916-765-0086!

Five years ago, the campaign to raise money for a new pool started with the Del Oro Senior Project of Liz Scherer. Liz organized an auction dinner that raised over $10,000, the most money a senior project has ever raised. As we drive towards the finish line of breaking ground on Phase I this summer, we are coming full circle. Please join us for a fun-filled evening of delicious food and good friends as we celebrate all that we have accomplished. We have less than $150,000 left to raise out of a $2.65 million budget for Phase I! (This event will replace our usual Casino Night spring fundraiser.) Cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres begin at 5:30. We will raffle off 6 bottles of wine during the first hour that you can save for later or share with your table at dinner! Tri tip and vegetarian pasta dinner begins at 6:30. Catering by Café Zorro.

Reserve a sponsored table! Gold table sponsorship includes reserved table for 10, and open bar for $1,000. Silver table sponsorship includes reserved table for 8, and two complimentary premium bottles of wine for $800. Call up your friends, split the cost, and get the best seats in the house!

We need help too! Please consider donating a silent or live auction item. A week at your vacation home? Gift cards, wine, movie or theater tickets, spa certificates, swim gear… all items large or small are so appreciated. Attached are the solicitation letter and donation form with tax ID. Next time you dine out, ask the manager for a donation!

We Accept Stock Donations!
A huge THANK YOU to our December donors, including the Oien-Wilson family who donated 1,000 shares of Intel stock (valued at over $25,000). Donating your long-term appreciated public or private securities into the PUHSD Charles Schwab Brokerage Account on behalf of the Del Oro Aquatic Center (rather than selling first and then donating after-tax proceeds) has a number of benefits:
  1. The donor pays no capital gains tax on the shares, so the Aquatic Center will receive a donation that can be as much as 20% larger.
  2. The donor may take a charitable deduction of the full fair market value of the donated securities, up to 30% of adjusted gross income. Amounts in excess of this 30% can be carried forward for up to five years.
If you are in the same fortunate situation, a stock transfer processed and received by the PUHSD prior to December 31, 2014 may be deductible on your 2014 tax return. If interested in making this type of stock transfer, please contact Doug Marquand, Assistant Superintendent at 530-886-4410.

Need an Oil Change?
Country Club Motors on Taylor Road, near Sierra College, is DONATING 250 oil changes to help raise money for the pool! For only $25, you can buy a gift card for your next oil change and all the proceeds will go to the new pool fund. You can purchase your gift card at the Loomis Chamber, the Del Oro office (Cindy York), or at Country Club Motors.
