We want EVERYONE to have a chance to enjoy the camaraderie and excitement of our annual Goods & Services Auction, whether or not you are able to attend on June 8. So, the 2024 Auction Planning Team has split the Auction into three parts:
- The Online Silent Auction – Wednesday, May 29, 8:00 am through
Wednesday, June 5, 5:00 pm. Can’t come to UUFC on June 8? You’ll still be
able to bid online for some fine items and services, and help fund our
Fellowship at the same time. - The Silent Auction Tables – Saturday, June 8, 5:30-7:00. A limited number
of items will be available to bid on and take home that night, especially
items such as cakes, pies, plants, bouquets, gift baskets, and arts and crafts. - The Live Auction – Saturday, June 8, 7:00-8:30 pm. Our Auctioneer John
Bailey will entice you to bid high on 30 spectacular service items. Raise your
paddles and let the fun begin!
Request Childcare: In an effort to make the Services Auction a family friendly event, we want to offer childcare during the Live Auction. However, we need to know how many children to plan for and get some additional information about those youngsters from you. Please complete the short Google form before May 19 to allow time to recruit the appropriate, back-ground checked people to watch over your small humans.
Volunteer to Help
The annual UUFC Services Auction is a wonderful way to build community while giving back to UUFC. Many people are needed to make this event a success! We have a variety of jobs, something for everyone!
Donate Services or Goods
Will you donate a popular service item that we can enjoy haggling over in the Live Auction? Or perhaps you will bake a cake or pie, bring a plant, bouquet, gift basket, an art/craft item that some lucky person will win at the Silent Auction table. Or maybe you have a new or like-new item that someone else would love. Some donations will be split between the Online Auction (May 29 – June 5) and the Silent Auction tables (June 8) so that everyone has a chance to participate.
