Donating money to charity is good. But donating money and getting something in return is better. The United Way of Quay County is holding their annual charity auction at 5:30 p.m., Nov. 3 at Wells Fargo bank on First Street in Tucumcari. “We have got a little something for everybody,” said Auction organizer Pat Sparks. “This is for people right here, the more money we make the more we can help.” There will be 144 donated items up for auction from businesses throughout the city. The auction will be held in the bank lobby and broadcasted live on KTMN radio, where listeners may call in bids to the bank. Sparks said she has no preference as to whether bidders call or bid from the bank, but bidders in person may be able to outbid others quicker. “I think they have an advantage if they are in house and bidding,” she said. “But we just want them to bid.” Among the available items are window repairs, oil changes, restaurant gift certificates and savings bonds. United Way of Quay County president Doyle Frasier said the goal for the event is $25,000. Wells Fargo bank has sponsored the event since it began 12 years ago. Bank president Craig Cosner said the crowd at the bank often depends on the weather, but in past years there has been a packed lobby. “We look forward to it each year,” Cosner said. “We are happy to assist the United Way as far as their fund raising for the county.” Sparks said there is a core group of about seven people who make up the United Way of Quay County and they welcome new volunteers. The organization is completely volunteer based. The annual auction is the charity’s main source of raising money, and she said that 99 percent of the money will be turned around and donated back to Quay County. Sparks said often items are sold for less than store value but that people should not think about getting a deal, but that they are giving money to a good cause. “Remember that this supports our community,” she said. ------------- Auction List ----------- Board Open 5:30 - 5:45 1 Mesalands Community College, 1,Tuition for one credit hour course 2 Quality Lube & Tire, 1,Oil Change & Lube 3 Shipley Systems, 1,$50 Tool Rental voucher 4 Subway, 6, 6" Sandwiches 5 Gray Mesa T Shirt Company, 1, Embroidered Route 66 Duffle bag 6 Quay County Chamber of Commerce, 1, Route 66 Board Game 7 Del's Restaurant, 1, $25 Gift Certificate 8 Quay Council for the Arts and Humanities,2,Adult season tickets and 2 student season tickets 9 New Beginnings Real Estate, 1,$50 Series EE savings bond 10 Even Par Glass, 1, Windshield rock chip repair 11 A&A Auto Rental and Quay Valley Salvage, 1, 3 Day car rental (use within six months) Board Open 5:45 - 6:00 12 LeDeane Studio, 1, 8 x 10 portrait and sitting 13 Sonic Drive - In, 4, Banana Splits & His and Her Sonic Wristwatch set 14 Shipley Systems, 1, Rug Doctor rug cleaning machine rental 15 Bob's Upholstry, 1, Set mini blinds up to 6' 16 Pacheco Trucking, 4, Yards concrete delivered within 20 miles 17 Southwest Mercantile, 1, Ceramic Shave Mug & Brush with bay rum shaving soap 18 Rubee's Diner, 6, Breakfast burritos - your choice 19 Lionel's, 4, Haircuts 20 Hamilton Big Country Ford, 1, Oil Change & Car Wash (up to 5 quarts oil & filter) 21 Odeon Theater, 10, Passes - 5 Adult and 5 Children 22 Mary Kay Cosmetics, 1, Miracle Set Board Open 6:00 - 6:15 23 House Co-op, 100, Gallons Propane 24 Mickey Trousdale, 1, $100 Series EE savings bond 25 Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant, 4, Lunch buffets including drinks and tax 26 Shipley Systems, 1, Month free internet service 27 Mesalands Community College Bookstore, 1, Sweatshirt (2XL) & Jump rope 28 Tucumcari Animal Hospital, 1, Birdfeeder 29 Quay Council for the Arts and Humanities, 2, Tickets to Mariachi Christmas performance December 6 30 Tropical Tans, 1, $25 Gift Certificate for tanning sessions 31 Kentucky Fried Chicken, 1, 16 piece meal 32 New Life Auto Detailing, 1, Auto detailing 33 Tucumcari Ranch Supply, 1, $50 Gift Certificate Board Open 6:15 - 6:30 34 Del's Restaurant, 1, $25 Gift Certificate 35 Caprock Creek Adventures, 2, Tickets for adventure 36 Lorenzo's, 3, Haircuts 37 Shipley Systems, 1, Office supply package 38 Picture Perfect, 2, 1 Hour film developings for 35 mm 39 Pacheco Trucking, 1, Load natural fines 40 Premier Distributors & Jerry's Liquor, 1, Michelob tailgate party chair 41 Powers Chiropractic Center - Norma Bruhn, 1, Hour Massage (may be split into 30 minute increments) 42 Hamilton Big Country Ford, 1, Oil Change & Car Wash (up to 5 quarts oil & filter) 43 K-Bobs Steakhouse, 1, Gift certificate - dinner for two 44 First National Bank of New Mexico, 1, $100 Series EE Savings Bond Board Open 6:30 - 6:45 45 Animal Medical Clinic, 1, Rabies immunization for a cat 46 Southwest Mercantile, 2, Bags Purina Exclusive Cat Food 18# each 47 Quay Council for the Arts and Humanities, 2, Adult season tickets and 2 student season tickets 48 Shipley Systems, 1, Panda Antivirus antivirus protection software 49 Love's Appliance, 1, Whirlpool microwave oven 50 Tonya's Hair Resort, 1, Vavoom haircare gift bag 51 El Toro Café, 2, Mexican dinners 52 Pacheco Trucking, 30, Railroad Ties 53 Four Seasons Pest Control, 1, Termite Inspection 54 Pizza Hut, 2, Large three topping or specialty pizzas 55 Mesalands Community College Farrier Science, 1, Horseshoeing for one horse Board Open 6:45 - 7:00 56 Lowe's Grocery Store, 4, T-Bone steaks up to $35 57 Holiday Inn and Branding Iron Restaurant, 1, Night's lodging and dinner for two 58 Shipley Systems, 1, Internet package - 2 month free internet w/ new customer signup 59 Lena's Café, 1, Gift Certificate for $20 off of any order 60 Dickinson Implement Company, 1, AS bottle acetylene contents 61 Wright Realty, 1, $50 Series EE savings bond 62 Quay Council for the Arts and Humanities, 2, Tickets to Mariachi Christmas performance December 6 63 Pacheco Trucking, 1, Load base coarse 64 Mesalands Dinosaur Museum, 1, 3-piece dinosaur funwear sport set (shirt, pants, shorts) 65 Quality Lube & Tire, 1, Oil Change & Lube 66 Between Friends, 1, Goodie basket Board Open 7:00 - 7:15 67 A Nail Plus, 1, Manicure 68 Dean's Restaurant, 3, Homemade Pies 69 Shipley Systems, 1, Set of 500 business cards including 1/2 hour of graphic setup 70 Tucumcari Animal Hospital, 1, Horse grooming kit 71 Sundowner Gallery, 1, Print by Gary Morton 72 Denny's, 4, Meals 73 Southwest Mercantile, 2, Bags Purina Mills Hi-Protein Dog Food 50# each 74 Even Par Glass, 1, Windshield rock chip repair 75 Dr. Dan C.
