"FOR THE KIDS" AUCTION HAPPENINGS
WENATCHEE ROTARY AT THE BAT
The outlook was daunting for the Wenatchee Rotary League nine that day;
the score was set at $100,000 in goods to get the people to come Jan. 29 to pay.
And then when Magic Mike K cried we need $150 Grand, then Jill Leonard did the same,
a sickly silence fell upon the players of this wonderful game.
A straggling said it couldn’t be done with deep despair. The rest
clung to that hope which springs enteral whenever Wenatchee Rotary is near;
they thought, if only Triple P would wrestle in jello or eat something vile or two –
they'd put up lots money, now, to see what he would do.
With Razzle Dazzle Rasmussen and the Leighigh Valley Iron Pigs showing us what it takes,
he knew Slugger Singhose was a lulu and would bring in the cake,
Joltin’ Joe would not make it easy for Raz to take the day,
he gathered up his Jumbo Shrimp and showed them how they play.
Stinger Evey waged battle with Iniguez, the Iron Man, to the wonderment of all,
while DeRobles the Destroyer and her Shining Knights, waited to join the brawl;
and when the dust had lifted, and the crowd saw what had occurred,
there were Skeeters safe at second and the Aces a-hugging third.
There was ease in Ole Peter’s manner as the Saints stepped to the plate;
there was pride in Striker-Z Zuniga-Gutierrez as the Isotopes proved they’re great.
And when, responding to the cheers, Mad Dog Mendosa lightly doffed his hat,
no stranger in the crowd could doubt Santa Fe is where it’s at!
And now the leather-covered sphere came hurtling through the air,
when the Kala Czar and his mighty Tacoma Rainiers did appear.
A swat hammered in by Provo the Punisher flew across the land,
a pig roast for 100 to up the kitty five grand!
We begin the year with 80 percent of our procurement goal,
the rest will come fast and quick because we are on a roll.
So keep bringing in the good stuff to auction off to all,
The 29th will be here soon and Rotarians plan to have a ball.
Oh, for there is a favored land where the sun is shining bright;
where the band is playing and where people’s hearts are light,
For President Alice told us to “Do it for the Kids”;
and so there is joy in Apple Town, because that is what we did.
Taken from “Casey at the Bat” by Ernest Thayer. Thank you all for getting us so close to our procurement goals! Happy New Year and let’s get everything in by January 6, 2022 to make sure it makes auction booklet!
--- DEAR APPLESAUCE ---
Dear AppleSauce: Why didn’t you just tell 'No Use' to donate the tea cozy to the Auction?
- Second Opinion
Dear Second,
The Auction is the one night Dear Applesauce can cut loose and kick up heels. However, if there were a tea cozy in the auction, someone’s crazy, cat lady cousin would beg to be included. Cranny is obsessed with tea cozies. If she even suspected one was going to be offered at the Auction she would bother yours truly to no end for an invite! No thank you!
Dear Applesauce: What should I wear to the auction?
- Not Dressed Up and Somewhere to Go
Dear Not Dressed, Taffeta, Darling, taffeta!
