UUMC Presents: The UUCM Mad Hatters Annual Auction
"Show me the money!"

This year's auction committee chairs are: Peter Kent and Sheila Donovan. Email auction@uumarblehead.org

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!
Yikes! The auction is only -566 days away, so it's too late for changes to your items to get in the printed catalog, but please make corrections anyway - they will still appear on statements and bid sheets.
The Catalogs are Ready! Pick one up at the auction table in the Holyoke Room, and use it to plan your bidding strategy. We'll have them available at the auction too - Please share with a friend.
