The Silent Auction will begin a little after 6:00. You will have a chance to talk to most of our sponsors at the door when you sign in. There will be sheets for each auction with a reasonable starting bid and suggested increments. The Silent Auction will close promptly at 6:50, and the announcements will be made about the winners before we start our meeting promptly at 7:00. In addition, as noted above in the Door Prizes section, we will blindly select one of the high-ticket items and it will be the Grand Door Prize.
