MC Script – Benefit Dinner
TIME 6:10pm
Welcome Remarks
Ben : Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Kimochi SM 3rd Annual Benefit Dinner. My name is Ben N., Kimochi Board Member since 1971 when the organization was first established over 40 years ago. As you can imagine, being with Kimochi since its inception and seeing firsthand the success it has achieved in helping thousands of people over the years, it is with profound honor to be here tonight and host this event with an esteemed Bay Area community member. You may recognize her from TV, having anchored and reported the news in the Bay Area for 30 years – Wendy T.
Motions for Wendy*
Wendy : Thank you, Ben.
Wendy : Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I would like to also welcome everyone to the benefit dinner and express my gratitude to Kimochi for inviting me to co-host tonight’s event. It is an honor to contribute to an extraordinary cause such as this one. My history with Kimochi began over 30 years ago when I hosted their Sansei Live event to raise money for their programs and services in San Francisco, so it is with great pleasure to continue to support Kimochi as they expand their services to help more seniors and their caregivers in the Bay Area.
Wendy : First, we would like to extend our thanks to SM Buddhist Temple Taiko for their wonderful performance. Taiko drumming has a long history in Japan, providing rhythm for sacred rituals and festivals. Their opening for the program really sets the tone for a great celebration tonight.
Wendy : We would also like to acknowledge Michael C., President of the College of San Mateo, for donating the use of this beautiful venue for the benefit dinner. He is a great supporter of Kimochi’s mission and has been pivotal in the organization’s introduction to the San Mateo community.
Emcee Script For Annual Party Ideas
Wendy : At this time, please welcome Paul Chen, long-time supporter and Kimochi Chairperson, to the stage for a few words.
Paul Chen makes welcome remarks.
KSM Background and Announcement
Wendy : Thank you, Paul. Please everyone, for those who haven’t started, help yourselves to the salads and bread, while we continue with the program.
Introduce special guests depending on when/if they arrive. Anna/Jessica will give names as they arrive.
Ben : Kimochi began as a simple commitment to the first generation Japanese American- Issei back in 1971, and has since evolved into a nationally recognized community service organization committed to helping seniors live with dignity and independence. Over the years as Kimochi San Francisco continued to grow, we began to recognize the increasing need for support in the Peninsula. In response to that need, Kimochi purchased a building in San Mateo in 2012 and established the SM Capital Campaign, an undertaking to raise money for the building renovation and equipment. It has been a 3-year battle, but we are thrilled to confirm that Kimochi SM will be opening its doors in December 2015!
Ben : For their tireless work and dedication, we would like to acknowledge the SM Capital Campaign Committee: Honorary Co-Chair Steve O. and Co-Chairs Sandy M. and John N.
Emcee Script For A Program
Ask for Steve, Sandy and John to stand up.
Wendy : Without their invaluable insight, commitment, and leadership the immense progress we have made in the campaign thus far would not be possible. We extend our deepest gratitude to the committee members. Clap* Throughout the night we will be speaking to you more about the SM Capital Campaign and the progress of the renovation of Kimochi SM.
Ben : An important part of our Capital Campaign is our Founder’s Wall of Giving. Please turn your attention to the monitors – there you will find further information about Kimochi SM, in addition to the recognition of our generous donors who have given $2500 or more to the capital campaign. These donors are also being recognized on the Founders Wall of Giving, a display that will be prominently featured in the new building after renovations are completed. We thank our donors tonight for their unwavering support. It is with the coming-together of hundreds of members in the community that has led to the achievement of our new senior care facility, Kimochi San Mateo. There is no role, no donation too big or small in this campaign, because it is only with the collaboration of everyone that we can achieve this goal together.
Support Opportunities : Raffle & Auction
Wendy : The capital campaign is not over yet. We have raised $1.8 of a $2.5 million goal and the mission of tonight’s event is to further diminish that gap. There will be many opportunities tonight to contribute to the campaign. Our volunteers are here selling raffle tickets. The grand prize is a Vizio 48” flat screen tv, generously donated by All Natural Stone. In addition, there will be other exciting raffle prizes. Please raise your hands up high if you would like to purchase a ticket!
Wendy : If you haven’t already, please take a look at the silent auction table. We have some great items and gift baskets up for bid. Bids will be accepted only until 7:15, so hurry over when you get the chance! Later in the evening at 8:00, we will be also be holding a live auction – please refer to your program booklet for descriptions of the items and the bidding rules and procedures. Keep in mind, you can bid on an item together with friends, so prepare in advance! We encourage everyone to participate in tonight’s activities! All proceeds will go towards the capital campaign and will bring us closer to completing the SM senior care facility.
Ben : We also want to take the time to humbly thank our major sponsors tonight: Pacific Gas and Electric Company, American Reality & Construction Inc., Shig & Sumi H. and Sneider, Sullivan & O’Connell’s Funeral Home. Thank you to these wonderful sponsors for their commitment to the community and its seniors!
