Orchard Restaurant Night Wednesday & Silent Auction Ends Thursday!
Hello Seminole Families,
Opening day is almost here - we’re excited to start our last summer in our current pool. We’ll share some general timeline updates about the Seminole 2.1 build process at the end of the email - so be sure to keep reading.
The Silent Auction for Seminole 2.1 opened last week and we are more than ¾ of the way to our goal of $8000! Keep those bids coming these last few days as the auction wraps up at 8 pm Thursday May 21 (with a small window of added bidding for any items getting a last minute bid). Be sure to share the link with family and friends - you don’t have to be a Seminole member to win!
Check out the Silent Auction here!
If you haven’t checked it out yet, we have close to 100 auction items with something for everyone:
Need a place for a party? We’ve got options with bowling, gaming, globe reservation, and Verona Maker Space.
Do you have a student that can use some tutoring this summer? Check out Mathnasium and Launch Speech and Reading (these are AMAZING values!)
Is tennis or pickleball more your thing? We have private tennis lessons and indoor pickleball court access.
Swim team families, we know that those meet days can be a scramble - check out our 4 different VIP parking options as well as a reserved tent space. We also have private swim lessons with a prior US champion and custom made tees.
Other major life events for you or someone you know? Wedding - we’ve got free dance lessons; Baby - priceless early access for Half-Pint resale; Weekend getaway - check out the Door County Package; Birthday for a coffee lover - they’ll love the behind the scenes tour and tasting at Rusty Dog. A Bourbonbasket is good anytime!

We have tickets for the Packers, FC soccer (including the new Rally Madison featuring 2 Seminole Alumni, Mallards, NightMares, & Radicals available as well as training for volleyball, karate, climbing, boating, Thai boxing, fitness, running and, of course, swim lessons.
We have close to 10 gift card assortments with local businesses and SO MUCH MORE - check out all the items today!
Be sure to thank the following Seminole families that have donated items to the auction: Behling, Feller, Figueroa, Grotenhuis, Happel, Liebhold, Mueller, Roltgen, Totaro and Wagner families. A second giant thank you to Katie Grotenhuis and Emily O’Brien for their major assistance in securing multiple donations from local businesses.
Our next restaurant give back night is scheduled for this Wednesday, May 20 at Orchard Restaurant in Verona from 4:00-9:00 pm.
We’ll get 5% back on all purchases, including dine-in, carry out, gift cards or purchases of their Cider Farm products to go (brandy, syrup, cider, etc).
No need to mention any codes, but be sure to tell them “Thank you from Seminole” when you go.
Encourage your neighbors and family to support us as well.
Last call for K&A gift cards: We have made over $1700 through K&A gift certificate sales this spring and have about 50 certificates still available through the end of this week. There is no expiration date, so if you have any plans to buy plants this summer or fall (we all love our fall mums!), please consider supporting us. There is ZERO added cost to you. For every $20 gift certificate purchased, we get $5 back from K&A. Use this Zeffy link to order.
Seminole 2.1 Update
We have a better timeline to share with you of the process this summer. The final build plans enter bidding this week (if you have any connections that we should be taking advantage of, be in touch and we can share with our team). We will evaluate the bids in late June and we hope to make a decision by early July. As part of this process, there will be a member meeting at the pool in late June; keep your eyes open for the date as the timeline solidifies. We are hopeful that the bids are within our budget, but it’s important to remember that our fundraising needs to continue full force to allow us to move forward with Stage 2 (Bathhouse/concessions) in the near future. You can still place or increase your pledge, set up recurring smaller payments, or make a donation today!
Thanks for all your support - as always, email carleenh@seminole26-5.org with any questions, donations or ideas - we love to hear from you! Be sure to check our webpage for updates on fundraisers and events and follow Seminole Prez on social media.
Swimmingly,
