First UU Presents: Auction 2012 - South Pacific - Sat Feb 18
"I'm gonna wash that cash right outta my wallet"

Welcome!  Our auction is an important fundraising event for the church (and always a fun party), but it is also a great way to bring people together. Do you have a special talent or skill or a unique item to donate? Can you host a dinner? Does this sound like a fun project to be involved in? Then you've come to the right place!
Wow! The auction is only 12 days away! There's still time to offer last minute additions - the deadline is past for the printed catalog, but you'll see them in the addendum.
The Catalogs are Ready! Pick one up at the auction table in Fellowship Hall, and use it to plan your bidding strategy. We'll have some available at the auction too - Please share with a friend.

You can bring your items for the silent auction to church on auction day between 9:00 am and 12:00 pm
