2nd Peaceful Beginnings Silent Auction

Last spring, we hosted our first silent auction! We were fortunate to raise funds through this auction to help out a member cover some of the expenses involved with the birth of her twin boys. This new blog has been started so that we will have a consistent place to hold the auction each year. We are excited to begin our second silent auction, just in time for the holidays! We are currently accepting donations and getting the items posted to the blog. Comments are currently closed, but will open for bidding on December 1, 2009. Bidding will remain open until December 7, 2009. Here are a few guidelines:

  • Once bidding has opened, place your bid by leaving a comment under the item you'd like to bid on.  Please make sure to either leave your e-mail address in the comment, or if you blog, make sure your profile is set to public so that we can contact you that way.
  • Check back often to make sure you haven't been outbid!
  • On December 7th, comments will close at 9:00 pm.  The comment with the highest bid at that point will be the winner of the item.
  • If the winner is local, we will be having a park date at which you can pick up your winnings, or you can arrange to pick them up from one of our houses.  If you are not local, we will arrange shipping details with you.  We will ask you to cover shipping charges, as this is a benefit auction!
  • Payment for items can be made via paypal or via cash/check for local winners.  Items will be distributed after the payment has been received/cleared.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us via the contact button on the right!  If you have an item or service you'd like to donate, please let us know that as well!  See you on the first to start the bidding!
