Silent Auction Rules Some items will be auctioned silently prior to the live auction. Bid sheets and auction items will be displayed at tables around the hall. You may bid on the silent auction items any time after you obtain your bidder number. To bid, simply write your bidder number, name, and the new amount in the next available space. The increments for raising a bid are listed on each individual bid sheet. Be sure to listen for table closing announcements. Bidding will close on some tables before others.

You may choose to purchase an item at the guaranteed “Buy It Now” price indicated in red at the bottom of the bid sheet. Write your bidder number and name next to the “Buy It Now” price, and X through the bid table, so that others will know this item has been purchased. You may claim your “Buy It Now” item(s) from the tables once Checkout begins.

Live Auction Rules 1. High bidder takes the item(s) offered on the “block.” 2. The Auctioneer will make clear whether one or more than one

item is on the block and whether the buyer is buying all or part of the package.

3. When multiple items in the same package are being auctioned (indicated by the “number offered” entry in your program), the high bidder (or back-up bidder) has the option to take any or all of what’s left at the “hammered” price. It is the Auctioneer’s discretion as to how to deal with any remainder of the package.

4. The Auctioneer must know that you’re bidding to acknowledge your bid. Do what is necessary to ensure that this happens. The

2 Unitarian Universalist Church of Kent

Auctioneer has the right to refuse late bids and to set appropriate bidding increments.

5. Determination of the high bidder and backup bidder is at the discretion of the Auctioneer.

6. All items are assumed to be “as advertised,” with no further warrantee, guarantee or liability attached unless otherwise negotiated between buyer and seller after the auction.

7. Prices/estimated values on dinners, trips, etc. are per person unless otherwise stated.

Obligatory Disclaimer: Every effort has been made to represent items accurately. We apologize for any errors.

Checkout Items you have purchased and bids you have won will be summarized on an invoice, payable this evening, with cash, check or credit card. Checks save the Church a credit card processing fee, but plastic works too. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

#5001 Eldredge Annex Roof and Repairs

Even after the new

fellowship hall is built, and

the church expanded, the

Eldredge Annex will

continue to be a vital

building, providing critical

office and meeting space.

A significant amount of

maintenance was completed by volunteers Randy Ruchotzke and

Michael Lee this spring (many thanks!!). However there is work

remaining that we need to hire a professional to complete,

specifically, the roof and carpet need to be replaced, and other

miscellaneous repairs. Any funds raised in excess of the cost of the

immediate repairs needed will be used for other building repairs in

the future.
