We are getting closer to Auction Day, and it is shaping up to be THE social event of the year with lots of laughter, music, great food (thanks, Mary!), an accomplished auctioneer (thanks, Stephen!), an impressive logo and artwork (thanks, Elena and Ruth!), behind-the scenes logistical help (thanks, Beryl, Alejandra, Marci, and Dori!), fun and games (thanks, Hilary!), and – wait for it – a full bar (thanks, Robin and Janet!). And of course, YOU!

A big THANK YOU to all of our sponsors, donors, volunteers, and bidders so far! Our 32Auctions site is up and running, and items are added daily for bidding in all price ranges: https://www.32auctions.com/20240518  (corrected: please note there is no “3” at the end of 20240518!). This is also where you can buy sponsorships in various denominations.  Interested in donating something? Yes please!  Fill out this form.  If that does not work for you, you can also use one of the paper forms at our Auction Information Station in Delaney Hall, or you can email your donation information to Tineke.

For now, if you have not done so already, kindly stop what you are doing, and buy an admission ticket ASAP so we can give Mary and Robin an accurate headcount! We’d love to see you, even if you are not planning on bidding! We are also still looking for volunteers; you can sign up in Delaney Hall, or you can email Francine. And, if and only if you are so inclined, start thinking about how you might win that Oscar for “Best Costume in a Major Church Auction”!
