Over the Rainbow there's never a care,
So come all ye ladies, lovely and fair,
Sing a song or drink a pint,
Auctions galore on the night,
We hope lots of funds to raise and share!

Over the Rainbow is not to be missed
Our lucky dip will have a new twist
Balloons to pop
Prizes non-stop
Don't worry you'll get the gist!   

Together we'll raise our voices in song
Until the auction items are gone
Silent Treasures
Live Adventures
We hope you will all come along

May your hearts, spirits & pockets be open
The Foundation programs need every token
For Awards and NEEEDs
Grants and good deeds
We hope all records will be broken

Our leprechaun seeks pots of gold
To be filled from our FAWCO fold
Whether Euro or dollar
It's not a bother
The benefits to others yet untold

Over the Rainbow is our theme for the night
Wear your favorite color - it'll be quite a sight.
Red , orange, green or blue
Or wear them ALL, - it's up to you
Let's make it an evening to reach a new height

Our live auction has trips galore
They are so popular we need some more!
Have a house to share?
Or jewelry to wear?

The Emerald Isle deserves something green
A raffle item like we've never seen

If you win it you'll look like a queen!
