This silent auction is unique in that you will not have the opportunity to see what others have bid on each item. Give careful thought to your maximum bid for each item on which you choose to bid, and write your bid amount and paddle number on the form provided at the auction. You’ll then slide your form into an enclosed container holding other bids on the same item. We’ll open the container for each item during dessert, and determine and announce the successful bidders. In the case of a tie, the item will be offered in a live auction fashion.
