The Octopus Club is presenting its now famous OctoTea Dance, benefiting the Paul Kirby Fund of AIDS Services of Austin. We are very pleased to announce OctoTea will be held at the outdoor patio of the new Long Center For The Performing Arts www.thelongcenter.org overlooking the beautiful shores of Lady Bird Lake and the ever-changing skyline of downtown Austin.
Included with each ticket are a complimentary buffet and three drink tickets. We will also have a silent auction and raffle. Our opening act this year is hot new DJ Seth Cooper www.djsethcooper.com. Also, back by popular demand will be Los Angeles based, but Austin bred, DJ Roland Belmares www.DJRolandBelmares.com. Roland is a nationally known DJ/mixer/producer. Both Seth and Roland have generously donated their talents to our worthy cause.
Sunday, September 21, from 3:00 to 9:00 pm
Tickets are $40 in advance / $50 at the door
An event like this can't happen without hosts. Hosts give it momentum. Hosts talk it up and sell tickets to friends, family and coworkers. Your host donation covers the costs of putting on a fundraiser like this. All proceeds from event ticket sales, raffle and silent auction go directly to people with HIV/AIDS when they are in an emergency situation. Last year’s event raised over $55,000. Please help by being a host. The following are only requests, not absolute requirements.
• Hosts are asked to provide at least one silent auction item. It could be something you buy and donate. Something fabulous you already have. Something you get donated from a generous merchant.
• Hosts are asked to volunteer at the event. We will be coordinating this in advance. So let us know if you prefer set up, working the silent auction, door admission, or clean up.
