The playhouses will be on display from May

Avenue and Western Avenue – we encourage you to come by anytime
and take a peek! On Thursday, May 29, 2014, from 7 pm – 9:30
pm, there will be a cocktail reception and live auction
for those interested in bidding on a house for the special
children in their lives. A limited number of tickets are
for sale (guests must be 21+) – beginning March 2014. This
event will feature:
- Cocktail reception with wine & beer
- Heavy appetizers and desserts
- A grand prize raffle, featuring items donated from surrounding
merchants
- The opportunity to purchase a share of a Playhouse to be donated to a local non-profit
- A live auction of playhouses
- Coverage of the event by Washington Business Journal and Bethesda Magazine, as well as
other local press outlets
Advance purchase of the playhouses will be
available via this website beginning on May 1st, and proxy
bidding will be accepted on the evening of the live auction.
Please contact the Rebuilding Together office at 301-933-2700
for more information for arranging a proxy bidder.
Any interested parties will receive a complimentary
bidding paddle on the evening of the Live Auction & Reception.
In order to participate in the live auction, one must read
and agree to all terms and conditions found within the Bill
of Sale and Bidder

documents in advance, and bring your signed copies with you.
However, they will also be provided on site for your review
and acknowledgement.
All proceeds from this event, including funds raised by the Playhouse Auction, Ticket Sales, Raffle Prizes, Sponsorships, and the “Donate to Build a Playhouse for a Charity” event, will go to support Rebuilding Together Montgomery County, Inc. Rebuilding Together Montgomery County is a housing nonprofit that provides critical repairs, energy efficiency improvements, and accessibility modifications for low-income homeowners in Montgomery County. Our work keeps families living safely and independently in the homes they’ve worked hard to obtain, while also preserving affordable housing in our county and creating a stable environment in which children can grow up, and seniors can grow old. To learn more about Rebuilding Together Montgomery County, please go to www.rebuidlingtogethermc.org.
When RTMC secures $15,000 in donations to buy shares of The Beach House Playhouse, that playhouse will be donated to The Arc Montgomery County.
The Arc Montgomery County provides a seamless delivery of child care and early intervention services for children with and without disabilities and special medical needs who are six weeks through 10 years old. This unique, fully-inclusive program supports children from many different cultural, socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds and leverages community resources and partnerships to help EVERY child develop to his or her fullest potential. The RTMC play house will occupy center stage in our outdoor play area and engage children in imaginative play while also developing their gross motor and socialization skills. We are thrilled to be the recipient of such a beautiful piece of functional artwork! Please visit our website at: www.thearcofmontgomerycounty.org

RESCHEDULED FOR MAY 17!
On May 17, 2014, Bloomingdale’s and Chico's Chevy Chase will make a donation to Rebuilding Together in the amount equal to 10% of your in-store purchase.

Join us from 12pm – 4pm on the plaza for face painting and coloring stations for the kids, giveaways, as well as RTMC staff on hand to provide playhouse tours, sell raffle tickets, and answer questions about the playhouse auction.
We regret that weather conditions resulted in the cancellation of our originally scheduled event, but would like to thank the following performers for their interest:
