Silent Auction will benefit our Mission Project @ Lydia Patterson Institute.

Start thinking NOW about what you, your unit, or your district might donate to the auction. Watch this space in future newsletters for suggestions of what to bring.



We are looking for quality items at a variety of price points to appeal to those in attendance. Less is MORE! Too many items lead to lower bids and items completely passed over. -- Lynne Grandstaff Coordinator - Silent Auction Team
