 * What a great deal – Only $10.00!**

The exciting list of donations includes the ever popular dinners and other meals, lessons, workshops, vacations, trips to the airport, garden services, yummy food, special one of a kind items, and more. All bids are in whole dollar amounts and bidding amounts above estimated value are tax-deductible.
 * Bid to WIN!**

You do not have to bid to WIN a good time…. Just eat, drink mix and mingle with all the great folks in our community

EVERYONE! ALL members & visitors & ALL their friends, ALL their neighbors & ALL their relatives, The more people at our auction – the more MONEY we’ll raise! The more people at our auction – the more FUN we’ll have!
 * Who is invited?**

The highest bidder(s) win! Some items have only one winner & others (like seats at a dinner) may have many winners. Write in both your bidding number & the amount of your bid (above the minimum amount) on the next available line.
 * How Does the Silent Auction Work?**

Do not erase or cross off previous bids (unless correcting your own bid). If you wish to increase your bid, write your name and new bid at the bottom of the list. The winners are the last (highest) written bids at the time items are closed. (Only Auction Team Members may authorize the removal of any item from bidding). Auction items that do not have winners may be available for bids on Sunday, February 7, 2010.

You make a bid by raising your bid paddle. The Auctioneers and Spotters will track the bidding action on each item. The Auctioneer will declare the winners. The spotters will record the winners.
 * How Does the Live Auction Work?**

Money will be collected the next day in church, Sunday, February 7, 2010. Payments may be made by cash or personal check. You may pick up items won the next morning in church or on Sunday, February 14. Personal Auction Reports that itemize your donations will be mailed by February 19th.
 * When Do I Pay?**

The vacation homes rent for one week and will be auctioned as such. If you want only part of a week we encourage groups of people to band together and designate one person to bid for the group for the week.
 * Bidding on Vacation Homes**

There will be activities for children and middle school youth. There will be childcare for the youngest children. This is a family friendly event.
