Greetings!

Here are the main points to know about the online Silent Auction and Saturday night's entertainment, Fund a Need, and Live Auction Items:

Doors open at 5:00 pm Saturday, Nov. 12.

Raffle tickets are on sale from 5:00 pm to 7:15 pm.

Bring cash for the raffle tickets and for refreshments at the bar.

You must be present to win a raffle prize or to bid on a Live Auction Item. If you need to leave early, give your ticket to someone who can retrieve your raffle prize!

If you didn't buy a dinner ticket, arrive at 7:00 for the Entertainment, Live Auction, Fund-a-Need and Raffle. However, please register your name and credit card info in advance at uuss.org/auction. You need to register to have a bidder number.

The entertainment and live auction will be on Zoom at uuss.org/online at 7:00. However, there will be no chance to bid on Zoom during this event. You can donate toward any of our 3 Fund-a-Need items now or during the event at uuss.org/auction.

Silent auction bidding will continue for a day after the Live Auction event, closing at 11:59 PM on Nov. 13.

HOW TO BID in the SILENT AUCTION:

Bidders must register first in order to be able to place a bid, but if you bought an auction dinner ticket, you are probably already registered.

If not, just go to Bidding Info at the top of the Auction website page, click the register button, and follow the steps.

When you are signed in as a bidder you can click on an item in the catalog. If bidding is open for the item you'll see a form that leads you through the process. Once you have placed a bid, you will receive an automated email, and later you’ll be notified by email and by text if you are outbid. You may disable the text reminders by typing “stop” on your cell phone

We are offering several flat rate (or buy-it-now) options as lower cost items. If you bid on one of these before they sell out, it will immediately show as a purchase on your account page. You can check out as you go or maintain a balance due until the end of the auction.

When signed-in, your My Account page provides you with an overview of your account including such information as your Account Summary, Bidder Details, Active Bids, and Payments.
