Please RSVP regarding your attendance (and any guests you plan to bring) to the Arizona Auction Week Preview event Wednesday, January 18, at the Phoenix Art Museum. Please note that you will either need to have paid your 2012 dues or purchased a $20 ticket. Also note there is no pre-event dinner for all members, but there is a dessert buffet afterward.
We plan to begin the program at 7 p.m. with presentations from the auction houses, with the panel discussion starting at 7:30.
So far we've sold 37 tickets (through www.papa-eventbrite.com), which means we have 73 remaining. Please do what you can to encourage sales of those remaining tickets. We've (through Dawn Sullivan) sent or are sending a press release to various local news outlets. Here, for example, is what Bob Golfen published on speed.com:

We have 100 "goodie" bags for ticket buyers and also are collecting door prizes for a drawing to be held that night. So far the drawing includes two AAA memberships, two car-care kits, and four books from Motorbooks. We're still looking for goodie bag items -- we need 100 of whatever -- and door prize drawing items for that evening as well.
Speaking of that evening, we also need a couple of people to man the admission table to verify tickets and memberships and to hand out the goodie bags. Also, if you're able to be at the museum around 4:45 to help stuff the goodie bags, please let me know when you send back your RSVP.
The museum will set up the room for 150 people. Last year we had more than 40 PAPA members and guests, so we're hoping to duplicate that, plus sell all 100 tickets. $5 from each ticket sold will be donated to the classic car restoration education program at McPherson College (we hope to have someone from McPherson at our event), and the remainder goes into the PAPA treasury.
Two more items for your calendars: Our annual motorsports preview lunch is scheduled for Tuesday, February 21, and our presentation from the auto designers group will be a dinner meeting on Tuesday, April 17, and is shaping up to be perhaps the best meeting we've ever had.
