Starting off with our annual charity auction which is on February 15th (Sunday) with a bunch of quality items to bid on. Remember that each bid is one dollar and you can bid as much as you wish. A number is assigned to each bid and when the bidding is complete a number will be drawn for the winner. A new twist to the day will be a t-shirt given to the highest bidder of any item of over $100.
