This morning, our virtual auction opened for bidding with 42 items in it. That's well short of the 100 we hoped to have, but there are some very appealing items in there already that are getting attention from bidders. If you personally have items from that you or your own business are donating, it's not too late - PLEASE send them to auction@sprucegroverotary.org including pictures (even if it's a picture of a gift certificate), plus a description and an estimated retail value. If you're working with donors in the community, please try to "close" those deals this week. We can still list more items and we will promote them to ensure they get noticed.
As of the time of writing, we already have leading bid values of over $500. Christmas Gnomes are leading the bidding "frenzy" with two bids! If everything currently listed went for just the minimum bids, the club would have an extra $5000. Consider what would happen if we could add another 30 items to the auction? It's not too late...
