Q: How do I buy a ticket(s)?
A: Credit Card purchase is available with PayPal on this website or purchase from the Will Call desk at Fashion Week El Paseo Monday, March 22 to Monday March 29, 2010.

You may purchase a dinner ticket ($130 per person) or an entire table ($1200 for table of ten) if available.  

Attendees must be 21 years or older due to serving of alcoholic beverages in the cocktail party and dinner.

6:30  Dinner by Castelli's Ristorante paired with Heck Estates wine

7:30  Bachelor Auction and 
no host bar.

Q: Does my Bachelor come with the package?
A: The only obligation the Bachelor has is "dinner with his date". The Bachelor is not obligated to accept any other invitation. 

The full Auction Date Package belongs to the winning bidder(s). 

Both Bachelor and Winning Bidder will sign a waiver releasing Shelter From the Storm and all related parties from all liability.

Q: Why is my check payable to Marlo Productions and not the charity?

Q: Who are these ‘Bachelors’ and can we meet them before the auction?
A: As a dinner ticket holder, you will have the opportunity to meet the Bachelors at the Man-Tini Cocktail Reception at 5:30 pm. 

Our Bachelors are single men, mainly from the Coachella Valley, who have volunteered their time to participate in the auction in support of Shelter From the Storm.  They are committed to having dinner with the winning bidder(s).

Q: Can we bid as a group?
A: Yes, many auction date packages are designed for two or more.  

All auction funds are paid in full directly to Shelter From the Storm by check or credit card at the auction. 

Q: Who are the other 'bachelors' at the Auction?  
A: Aside from our 12 participating Bachelors, there will be additional local volunteers (bachelors) helping at the Man-Tini Cocktail Reception and at the auction. 

Q: What if I do not want to go for dinner with my Bachelor?
A: The winning bidder(s) own the Auction Date Package and all the contents.  The dinner certificate and the entire content of the auction date package remains the property of the winning bidder(s).  It is her choice to invite her Bachelor or any other guest to share in her package.
