Update 7/10/20: After much discussion and careful thought, it has been determined that the Magic of Children event will look very different from the years past. With the recent spike in local cases of COVID-19, we have decided to:
- Cancel the Magic of Children dinner from Kalmes’.
- Move all auction items to a silent auction format (biddingowl).
- Keep the event an exciting one to participate in!
Marquette’s official Magic of Children event will go live on Facebook and Youtube along with the Parish cable channel beginning at 2:00. This is when our auction will also open on Bidding Owl.
For those that would like to join “Party Central” – we invite you to also join in on Zoom:
Topic: Magic of Children 2020
Time: Jul 11, 2020 2:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
Time: Jul 11, 2020 2:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
Here, you can interact with other members of the Marquette community, talk with those helping to make the event a success, and to celebrate the night, our mission, and our commitment to education through faith (note: you will not need to join Zoom to participate in any of the excitement during the night).
I’ll be bringing the action to everyone live throughout the night, along with Colonel Jess Herrig joining in the fun after Mass (our Youtube Feed and Parish Cable Channel will share our Saturday Mass at 4:15).
Our honorees will still be introduced, digitally, at 6:00 so you’ll want to make sure that you’re joining us at that time and throughout the night.
We’ll be selling $10 chances to win a 55″ flatscreen TV, and our helping hands items will all be on BiddingOwl as well! We will not be playing BINGO due to the fact that we’ll be broadcasting using many platforms – but, we will have a fun way of choosing our winner that you won’t want to miss. Tune in tomorrow to see how!
Please keep an eye on Facebook as we’ll provide directions for logging into Biddingowl, how to give to our helping hands causes and how to buy raffle tickets, and as we bring our ‘preview night’ right to your homes.
In short: Marquette’s Magic of Children event will be done as a digital auction this year – with live entertainment on Facebook, Youtube, Zoom, and Bellevue’s cable channel from 2:00-8:00. You do not need to join the whole time – but things will be happening throughout the evening so tune in when you can. Things will really get going at 6:00 as we introduce our honorees and as the auction nears completion.
We hope that you will join us for a night of fun. Share the links so others can join us too. Thank you for your support!
There has been a lot going on recently – but we’ve gotten this far and we control the direction that we’re heading. This is the day the Lord has made and that is reason enough to celebrate. We’re thrilled to bring the celebration to your homes this weekend. We’ll ‘see you’ tomorrow!
Also: Thank you to all of those who had paid for a meal in advance and dedicated your payment to a Helping Hands cause!
Update 7/7/20: Marquette’s annual gala, the Magic of Children, is set to take place this Saturday beginning at 2:00. We have been working closely with Jackson County’s Health Department to ensure that our event is being done in accordance with guidelines set forth by the CDC. What this means:
- There will be a viewing of items up for auction in the Trinity Center from 2:00-6:30. For those wishing to participate from home, we will be sharing a recorded video of all items before the live auction begins.
- Hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, or two hot dogs, will be sold from 4:00-6:00 for $15. For those wishing to take advantage of our ‘pick-up’ option, please follow the signs on Park Street and look for Marquette’s red tent. We’ll collect your order (you can order in advance by calling the school too to help speed up the process) and we’ll even bring it out to your car for you.
- For those wishing to dine in, food will be prepared in the Trinity Center but the MEC will be used as our dining area. This area is larger than the Trinity Center and tables can be distanced accordingly. Please make efforts to sit with members of your household/family at a table.
- The Trinity Center will be designated as an area where meals can be purchased, where items can be viewed, where individuals may sign up to participate in the auction, where raffle tickets and BINGO cards can be purchased, and where tech support can be offered. Note: you will need to be a registered bidder to purchase a BINGO card.
- We will begin recognizing this year’s honorees at 6:00 on the stage in the MEC. This will also be livestreamed on multiple platforms. This year, we celebrate Sandy Mueller, Kenny Michels, Joe and Carole Lies, and Milton and Luann Weber.
- The live auction will begin at 6:30 in the MEC. For those wishing to participate in the live auction from home, we’ll have people monitoring Zoom from the school to make sure that your bid is collected! Zoom is a meeting website where you can interact live with us. We’ll also be streaming on Youtube and Facebook so you can watch the action of the night unfold (if you know someone attending the live event, you can always text them to let them know to bid for you too!).
- Using Zoom, you will be able to register to bid, purchase BINGO cards or raffle tickets, and give to Helping Hands causes. Simply begin a private chat with the user “Bidding Registration” on the Zoom account and we’ll get you all squared away.
