Silent Auction at OML Conference to Raise Money for Oklahoma Regional Food Bank

OML is asking that each community and exhibitor participate in this year's silent auction to raise money for the Oklahoma Regional Food Bank during the 2014 OML Annual Conference. In the past, we have done food drives and asked for cash donations in order to support the Regional Food Bank. We asked and you delivered. 

 

This year we thought of a new way to raise money for this important cause - Silent Auction. Bring a basket of goods that represents your municipality or business to be auctioned off, example - Oklahoma City basket includes Bricktown items, local restaurant gift cards, local gifts, etc. The baskets will be brought to the center of the Exhibit Hall, known as the Town Square.  Auction will begin on Wednesday, September 24, at 5:00 p.m. during the Exhibit Hall Reception and run until Thursday, September 25, at 11:30 a.m.  Winners will be announced on Thursday during the prize drawings from 12:30 - 1:30 p.m.  You MUST be present to win.  Payment is due when the basket is claimed.  Bring your checkbook and help support this great cause.

 

Any questions, please contact April Bradbury via OML at 405-528-7515 or 800-324-6651.
