THIS Sunday, October 13! Get Those Donations In!
- 12:00–1:00 pm: Silent Auction and sack lunch
- 1:15 pm: Live Auction
- Lunch and childcare are provided!
The Auction is a fund-raiser to support First Unitarian Church’s many programs. After church on October 13, go to the Social Hall for a bidding number.
The event begins with a Silent Auction. Each item has a bidding sheet where you write your name and bid. At 1:00, we collect the sheets, and the high bidder takes the item home.
The Live Auction begins at 1:15. Our Auctioneer will take bids for items ranging from ethnic dinners to homemade goodies, sewing lessons, and artwork. We’ll have something for everyone!
How do I make a donation?
- Email Kathy Gapsis.
- You can bring Silent Auction donations to the church during office hours and place them in the church parlor marked with your name and “For the auction.” (The lobby is open 9:30-11:30 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week.. Call the church office (585-5110) other times to make sure someone is available to let you in if you don’t have a key or email the office.
- The deadline for donations is Friday October 11 at noon.
Live Auction: Make a meal, offer a personal or professional service, teach a skill, share a talent, or ask your favorite restaurant or other business to give a gift certificate. Feel free to call or email Tiffany for help formulating your ideas!
Silent Auction: Items that are new or like new that you think someone would pay $5 or more for. This is a great chance to find a new home for items you’ve been meaning to re-gift!
What else can I do to help?
Come to the auction! We greatly appreciate all the wonderful donations, but the Auction can succeed only if church members and friends attend and bid.
I can’t come that day! Can I still bid?
Yes! Preliminary lists of Auction items will be sent out by email. Let us know what items you’re interested in and how high you’re willing to bid; we’ll enter your bids for you.
Do I really have a chance to win $100?
Yes! Everyone (no age limit) who arrives by 1:00 and stays until the end of the auction will be entered in a drawing to take home a $100 bill.
See you at the Auction on Sunday, October 13!
