Auction
We’ve thought about everything from the silent auction tables to the hors d'oeuvres, you simply need to give where you can and come and enjoy one another’s company. Remember we will provide all the mixers, condiments and a bartender, but because we can not purchase alcoholic beverages you should BYOB!
Susie L'Heureux lheureuxsgp@aol.com and Jennifer Mitchell verbier7@comcast.net are our Aquisitions Committee Co-Chairs.
