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 -4944 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.

Cassie and John are offering their 3 bedroom, 3 and 1/2 bath Hilton Head cottage. You can see it in detail at this YouTube address: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BNwRuBJDXw. Here is your chance for one, two or three couples (no kids please) to team up to win this fantastic vacation package. Golf course across the street, beach 5 mins. down the road, private tennis courts next door (free) and glorious shopping and eating at every turn. Check in after 4pm and check out before 11am. Dates: 5/7-14/2011, can be flexible in early May but this second week in May is perfect because the average temps will be around 85 degrees and the tourist will not have appeared yet. You will live like the natives! Don't let this opportunity pass you by! (Departure house keeping charge of $100 to be discussed with owner, John Drier.)
