UUCM Goods and Services Auction
Saturday, Febraury 23, 2019
The Goods and Services Auction, one of UUCM’s major fundraisers, is coming right up! It netted over $5,000 last year! This year’s Auction is set for Saturday Feb. 23 and will kick off with a potluck dinner at 5:30pm.
Here’s how the Auction works: You offer a particular service, and the winning bidder pays the church. As the donor, you can claim as a charitable contribution the amount paid for your donation.
The Auction is not a tag sale, but we do accept a limited number of physical objects of high quality. Speak to Janet Hiller re: suitability of a particular item

- Is there a service you’d like to buy if a particular congregant offered it? Let Janet know, and she’ll ask for the donation.

This event is always a lot of fun: bidding can be brisk; Jeff May is a masterly auctioneer; the fellowship is warm, and the food is delicious.
