Supporting Sustainable Development
PROJECT GETTYSBURG-LEÓN
It is with great pleasure that Project Gettysburg-León (PGL) welcomes you to the Nicaragua Night 2019. For
over 25 years, PGL has sponsored this chili dinner and auction as its major fundraising event. Our goal for
Nicaragua Night 2019 is to raise $50,000 for PGL!
We would like to extend our sincere gratitude
to the following people and organizations
whose support has made Nicaragua Night 2019 possible:
Our Corporate Sponsor: Sun Coffee Roasters
PGL thanks Sun Coffee Roasters for its, corporate support of Nicaragua Night 2019. CEO Keith Lemnios
informed PGL that Sun Coffee is providing profits from the sale of its coffee in the Gettysburg College
Bookstore, as well as all of the income from 50 bags of coffee on sale at tonight’s event.
Through its collegiate program, Sun Coffee Roasters retails its organic, fair-trade blends to Gettysburg
College’s Dining Services. The company, headquartered in Plainville, Connecticut, in addition to distributing its
coffee throughout the country, is committed to bringing premium, sustainable fair trade coffee to colleges and
universities, particularly in the east. Sun Coffee Roasters works with campuses to support educational and
service programs, such as Fair Trade or Rainforest Days, and, at Gettysburg, the annual PGL Auction.
Lemnios describes Sun Coffee Roasters as “a socially conscious, earth friendly, and highly innovative U.S.
coffee roaster . . .” He adds, “Not only is Sun’s process good for the planet, it’s good for your palette. Our
methods yield the freshest, best-tasting sustainable fair trade coffee possible.”
PGL is happy that Nicaragua is the source of some of Sun Coffee Roasters coffee beans, and is grateful for the
company’s support of Nicaragua Night and our ongoing partnership initiatives.
The Auction Committee: Their many hours of soliciting donations, cataloguing, managing details,
publicizing and coordinating the Auction are truly appreciated:

of course be nothing without the many treasured items being auctioned off tonight. With your help, our goal
is to raise $50,000 tonight!
Casa de la Cultura
Casa de la Cultura began in 2011 as a local initiative of Project Gettysburg-León. Sharing the mission of
fostering friendship, education and cultural exchange, Casa de la Cultura promotes the rights of immigrants in
Adams County and creates a space for the community to explore the arts and healthy living while emphasizing
Latino culture and its realities. Initiatives include support for youth applicants of Deferred Action, English as a
Second Language instruction in Gettysburg and Biglerville, swimming clinics, and immigration reform activism,
as well as partnerships with Painted Turtle Farm and Healthy Options for healthy living and family education

Live auction starts promptly at 6:00 pm and runs continuously without intermission. There may be
additional items auctioned throughout the evening that are not listed in this booklet.
Use your personal bidding number to make your purchases. Be sure to keep track of the items you
purchase! All items are sold "as is.” No exchanges or refunds.
SILENT AUCTION
All items for the silent auction are displayed on tables and have a bid sheet beside them. To bid, place
your bid number in the space provided. Many items have starting/minimum bids. Each change of the bid must
exceed the current bid by at least $2.00. You may bid on an item as many times as you wish.
Tables will close at various times throughout the evening. Winning bids will be decided by the last
written bid on the sheet. If you have the winning bid, please leave the Bid Sheet on the table and remove the
winning item after the winning bid has been recorded.
FISH BOWL AUCTION
Find a volunteer with a balloon to purchase a sleeve-length of tickets for $10.00 or single tickets for
$1.00 each. Place your tickets in the fish bowls that interest you. If your number is pulled, you win! Please
check the large bulletin board after 8:00 pm to find out which items you won!
PLEASE NOTE
Please pay for all purchased items at the end of the evening. Payments should be made at the cashier's table
by using cash, check, Master Card, or Visa. Please allow at least 30 minutes after the close of the table before

5. Italian Dinner for 6, Featuring Local Ingredients
Elizabeth Meighan & Marty Qually and Nancy & Steve Whitman
Dinner will include a Prosecco toast and four separate wine tastings, Authentic Italian Cuisine made from local
ingredients and lots of fun conversation. This dinner will occur either at the home of Elizabeth and Marty or at
a location of your choosing. A little about your chefs: Steve Whitman received a Fulbright fellowship to study
in Italy, specializing in history and politics. From art to politics, you will enjoy his conversations, but perhaps
more importantly he is fluent in Italian wines. Nancy Whitman is a published expert on Italian architecture, of
which there will be none at the dinner. Nancy is a dual citizen, for which Steve is most grateful, since every
year they spend time in her familial town of Vittorio Veneto. Elizabeth Meighan (Gettysburg College '90) is still
convincing her father to process the paperwork to obtain her dual citizenship. His "It will get done eventually"
attitude, should be enough proof for the authorities without any paperwork. Elizabeth is also an accomplished
chef, specializing in Italian cuisine. Marty Qually likes to eat Italian food and isn't a bad chef either.
6. Two Hours of Indoor Live Blues Music
The Woebegoners: Larry Gregorio, Mark Hopkins, Ben Kennedy, Michael Reyka & Ken Slevin
The Woebegoners will play their special brand of blues at your indoor event at a mutually-agreed-upon date

NICARAGUA NIGHT 2019 43PROJECT GETTYSBURG-LEÓN
PGL is a non-profit and grassroots organization formed to
promote cross-cultural understanding and to develop programs
that support our friends who struggle to overcome poverty and
inequity and establish a more just world.
PGL immerses students and area community members in
developing communities in Nicaragua to raise awareness of the
realities and complexities of unjust economic structures and
development policies. PGL also develops and supports programs in
Nicaragua and the United States, which promote efforts to
establish justice and human dignity through education and
personal exchange.
