CUCC Family Fun Auction Party
The CUCC Family Fun Auction Party is tomorrow, Saturday, April 26. Social time and silent auction begin at 6:30 pm; bidding for the live auction starts at 7:00pm. $5.00 buys a bidding paddle. Our very own Tim Jensen will be auctioneer, with the lovely Laura Upchurch as “Vanna White.” The auction is an annual fundraiser for CUCC and we need your help to make it a success! So come and bid, bid, bid!!! Drinks, snacks, and child care will be provided. A great time is guaranteed!!
A separate email was sent with the Auction Catalogs. Please note: there are some offerings in the silent auction that are activities for social gatherings, not just objects. Be sure to sign up for these fun events.
A proxy form is below for those who see something they want, but for some reason cannot attend. Send your proxy to a friend who is attending so they can do your bidding. Bring your appetites for both spending and eating - snacks, lemonade & wine will be available. We hope to see you there!!!!
