A True Village Auction

Once again, the spirit of community that infuses everything we do has led to an outpouring of contributions from members to make our 9th Anniversary Benefit silent auction a success. Thank you to everyone who donated so generously. The funds we raise through our Anniversary Celebration and Benefit provide essential support for the services and initiatives that make the Village singular. How the Silent Auction Works:

1. At the June 6 event, there will be clipboards and pens with every item so you can write your bid.

2. Keep an eye on your favorite items so you can enter another bid if someone has outbid you.

3. Since several of the items are packages of activities that you can enjoy with a group, you might want to form a “cartel” with some of your friends and bid with the group’s resources.

4. There are a number of opportunities to BUY A SPOT-Secure a place or two for Bears Tickets, supper and science with a longevity expert, high tea and tour with a renowned artist, and more.

5. Bidding will cease at precisely at 6:30 PM at which time you can check the bidding sheet to determine if you have won.

6. We request that you pay for your item(s) at the conclusion of the program at 8:00 PM (check or credit card – Visa, MC, Discover).

7. Note: Several items have restrictions on when they may be used. 8. Bids placed lower than the Opening Bid will not be accepted.

Please note that this list will updated, as new items come in!

Good luck and happy bidding!
