Scott Andreas, who has been the auctioneer at the Rotary Club of Ankeny's fundraiser for the past six years, now has a relationship with Winspire.  Winspire is a company that provides highly sought after, hard to find, unique experiences for use in charity auctions and fundraisers.  This allows exclusive travel packages to be sold at a charity auction without any upfront cost to the organization.   If the item sells for more than the cost, the club, keeps the profit.  If it does not bring the cost there is no sale or any other obligation to the club.  There is also the opportunity to sell more than one of the items.  Auction items include award shows, major sporting events, VIP access, family vacations, international trips, cruises, adventure travel, golf trips and more.   Generally, the items are all inclusive including airfare, event tickets, ground transportation, and hotel accommodations.  
 
The auction committee plans to select a couple items from Winspire to auction at our 2017 fundraiser.  There is also the option for an individual member or business to sponsor one of these items.  For more information and a listing of items that are available, check out Winspire's web site www.winspireme.com or call Scott Andreas at 515-681-7735.
