Service AUUction is this Saturday!
|
|
Please join us on Saturday, April 15th, starting at
4:30
for this year's Service AUUction. Your paid admission gets you appetizers, dinner, dessert, and an open bar, plus the ability to purchase any number of exciting, fun, and in some cases even useful services, all while benefiting our church, for whom this is the biggest fundraiser of the year. Though it is "officially" too late to buy your tickets at the advance price of $10.00/person and $25.00/family, if you send us an email by the end of TODAY
at auction@uucuc.org
letting us know that you're coming, we can still get you in at the discounted price. Tickets at the door will be $12.00/person and $30/family.
In the weeks leading up to the auction we've been featuring an "Auction Item of the Week". This week, however, we will just refer you to the entire catalog of 114 or so donations which can be found in its almost complete state at the Service Auction web site
. Everything from parties to deluxe desserts to handyman services to jewelry creation is there for you to bid on. And, though it is too late to get new items into the catalog, we can still accept donations if they are emailed to us by
today!
We would also welcome more volunteers to help the evening go smoothly. Thank you to everybody who responded to last week's special plea; we are in much better shape now. However, we could still use some data entry elves if your interests and talents flow that way.
We're looking forward to seeing you
on Saturday
for what is shaping up to be an epic "CrUUise Around the World"!
