ONLINE CHAMBER AUCTION RUNS THROUGH JULY 29
|
|
The Liberty-Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce is partnering with Kirk Moore at ‘Moore’s Hillje Auction’ for the Chamber’s first on-line auction.
As everyone is well aware, COVID-19 has either limited are brought activities, events and general ‘togetherness’ to a screeching halt. Chambers of Commerce, as with all businesses both large and small, must have funds to operate. Chambers of Commerce are supported by dues paid by members, and the proceeds from special events. The very successful and popular ‘Liberty-Dayton ‘500’ was started years ago and the proceeds of that one fundraiser helped sustain the chamber and take care of expenditures for several months. Although the on-line auction is not equivalent to the ‘500’ at this time, the Chamber has high hopes that in going forward, this new venture will prove worthwhile.
For instructions on registration, bidding and the procedure of closing the auction, go to
www.mooreshilljeauction.com. The direct link to the auction items can be found
here. If you bid, you can utilize the max bid feature which allows the computer to bid for you, if you cannot watch the auction at closing. Each item is called a ‘lot’. At this time this auction has 84 lots. All info is on each item, such as starting bid, donor’s name, etc. Click on the picture of the item you are interested in, and you will see the additional info. The auction runs 24/7 until July 29. The Auctioneer will begin to close out at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday July 29. Lots/items will close out every 45 seconds, UNLESS a bid is made within the last two minutes before scheduled closing on a particular item. If so, two minutes will be added to allow the previous bidder the opportunity to bid again on that item.
Please call the chamber at 936-336-5736 with any questions you may have. Thank you!

The Chamber is planning another "Lunch on the Run" sometime in mid-August. These events are taking the place of our business luncheons normally held each month at Liberty Center but, like most activities, are on hold due to the Coronavirus. Our last two drive-thru lunches (including the June event held in the pouring rain) were very successful and we appreciate everyone's support. The date for the next luncheon will be announced in the coming weeks.
