January Program: Silent Auction

Our January meeting, January 20th, will be our bi-annual guild silent auction. I hope you have sorted through your quilting related stuff and picked out items that you no longer want.

Group your items rather than include individual small items. When you get to the meeting, we will have tables set up and forms will be available for you to set the initial price and the bid increment. All of the proceeds go to the guild, so please take advantage of a very fun activity.

Once the auction is set up, I will set a timer and let everyone look at everything and bid on items you want. The high (last) bidder at the end of the appointed time will win and will pay for the items at the “cashier”. Anything that does not get a bid will go home with the person that brought it to the auction.

You will be able to pay for items you win with a check or with cash. I suggest bringing some singles and quarters as many items will increment at $0.25 with each successive bidder. If you plan to do some serious shopping, you may want to bring tote bags or cardboard boxes for your purchases.
