March 29 will be a night full of fun, fellowship, and fundraising here at HUU. There will be both a silent auction and a live auction of fabulous goods and services donated by members and friends. We need you to help make our annual Auction 2008 a success. Our spring auction has been our best fundraiser for the past four years. One year we had a great evening together and we raised over $4000 for the church. Not only is it fun to sell your goods or services, but you can enjoy your purchases over the next year, whether it be entertainment, a pot of soup, or a trip to the theatre.
The Silent Auction will begin at 6:00 PM. You may register upon arrival to receive your bid number. The silent auction will close promptly before the live auction at 7:00. Refreshments, including coffee, tea, wine and cheese, will be provided throughout.
Auction Ideas
What do you have, or what service can you provide, that you would like to donate for the goods and services auction:
We need a nice mix of items that will sell from $5 to whatever. Quality items under $20 are always in high demand for the silent auction.
Furniture, art and craft items are popular—new or nearly new--this is not a yard sale!
Can you host a theme dinner or bake a pie or cake? Dinners are always popular as most of us spend money eating out. They are usually sold by the person.
Could you have your time auctioned for yard work, computer services, painting, or minor repairs?
Would you take friends on a hike or picnic?
How about tickets for the theatre or a movie?
Could you give a private lesson?
Could you fix something—like a car, a chair, computer or a lawnmower?
How about throwing a party? We all pay to eat out and having church friends pay for dinner in your home or back yard is a great way to eat, share with friends and benefit the church, all in one meal.
What service can you provide for a church friend?
