Silent Auction Tomorrow

Students,
Check out the rules for the silent auction.  Make sure you bring a pen and your revo to the auction!!!

Venturer  Silent Auction
Instructions:
·         All items up for auction will be placed around the room with a bid sheet
·         View the auction items at the event. The volunteers provide a bid sheet for each item with a notation of its starting value. Take note of the items that interest you and their starting values.  This will help you set a limit for your spending.
·         Bid on an item by writing the amount you would like to bid and signing your name on the bid sheet.  Make sure your bid is greater than the minimum bid, or increases the previous bid by at least the minimum incremental bid (you can always bid more).
·         Go back periodically to the items to see whether you've been outbid. As the auction period continues throughout the morning, more people sign bid sheets, and the prices increase.
·         Write a new amount if you're willing to increase the bid, and sign your name on the bid sheet again.
·         Be sure to keep checking the bid sheets for the items in which you're interested. Prices can increase rapidly.
·         Each table will be closed to bidding at different times, so listen carefully to make sure you get a last bid in on your favorite items.
·         After each table is closed, winners will be announced.  If you are a winner, please proceed quickly to the cashier to pay.  Save your receipt (bid sheet marked paid) so that you can collect your items at the end.
·         All items will be picked up at the end of the auction.  When directed, bring your bid sheet to the proper table to pick up your items.

·         GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN

·         Please bring a pen to enter bids!

RAFFLE - 10 REVO per chance:
Raffle tickets for two items will be available during the auction.  Purchase raffle tickets from the Raffle Volunteer.  Buy as many as you like, write your name on the ticket and put it in the box in front of the raffle you are interested in.  Raffle winners will be announced at the end of the auction.  Raffle 1 is called "summer fun" and includes some vacation fun items with a $10 Sweet Frog gift card.  Raffle 2 is called "Candy Store" and includes various edible goodies as well as a $10 itunes gift card.

Timing will be as follows:
9:00-9:15 Preview

Again, remember to bring your REVO and a pen so that you can write your bids.  You will be paying for your items and TAKING THEM HOME.  Plan on that.
