Dear Friends, 

Welcome, we are excited that you will be joining us for our 

Annual Benefit Auction. 

Once again, I am amazed and inspired by the works donated 

by so many talented artists. It’s been said that an individual 

achieves the status of master artist only after practicing their 

craft for at least 10,000 hours. If so, each of the pieces in this 

year’s auction is a master artist’s gift. 

These artists have contributed to the future of an organization 

they believe in. Please help us recognize and honor the generosity 

of these artists by bidding often and in good spirit. We 

hope their generosity will be exceeded only by your very own 

on auction night. 

And, please remember, it is okay to compete with your friends 

and neighbors because every little bit helps us in our quest 

to create opportunities for artistic exploration, expression and 

learning long into the future. 

Warmly, 

Marlene True

Fund-a-Need 

Lot 13 

This year’s Fund-A-Need will raise money to help us kickstart 

our goal of paying off the mortgage on our building at 

201 Main Street. 

Built in 1920, The Davis & Coffield Building is listed on the 

National Register of Historic Places and has been our home 

since 1994. In the early days Davis & Coffield had a reputation 

as “the largest and most prosperous general store in 

eastern North Carolina.” Today it houses our clay and metals 

studios, gallery, offices and resident artist apartment. Over 

the past 23 years participants of all ages have come through 

our doors and enjoyed creativity and the camaraderie that 

often develops in the studio. 

To get the campaign started a great friend of Pocosin Arts, 

Barbara McFadyen, has graciously stepped forward to help 

raise funds with a “Mortgage Marathon Challenge.” 

The mortgage now stands at $66,000 and Barbara has 

pledged $5,000 toward the mortgage and is asking friends 

of Pocosin attending the auction to match or exceed that 

amount. We’ve already received one gift; Robin and Ron 

Vick have graciously given $1,000, so we just need your help 

raising the remaining $4000. And, if we raise that additional 

$4000 or more, another friend, who wishes to remain anonymous, 

has agreed to add an additional $2,500. This would 

bring our Mortgage Marathon to $12,500, or more, for a 

great start towards the finish line of $66,000. 

During the auction we invite you to raise your paddle to help 

us reach our goal, gifts may be made at levels of $1,000, 

$500, $250, $100, $50 and $25 with a goal of raising $4000 

or more this evening. 

Thank you for your support!
