Welcome to the 2014 Auction.
This year’s auction will have some familiar features and some that are new – silent
auction and live auction with some of the silent auction items closing before the live
auction and some closing after. We will play the heads and tails game (cash only) and
new this year, a jumble table with all items priced at $5 (lots of gift cards). Toward
the end of this catalog is a calendar of the events scheduled for actual dates. Also
toward the end of the catalog is a wish list form for you to fill out and bring with you
to the auction.
Procedure: Silent auction items will have bid sheets on tables and will be arranged in
number order, grouped by category. In cases of events and other items with multiple
slots available, the bidding sheets will contain multiple columns for bidding. Table
monitors will be available to help, but the key is that highest bidders always win, and
in cases of ties at the same bid, the earliest bid wins (same as last year).
If you are unable to attend the auction, but want to participate in bidding, you have
two choices. You can find a friend to bid for you OR you can bid the guaranteed
price. Bidding a guaranteed price for any of the silent auction items will insure that
you will get the item. All pre-auction guaranteed price bids must be emailed to
auction@foothillsuu.org by 9 pm Friday, Nov. 14.

little card arrived at my house, and my life has not been the same since. The card was made
from a used tea bag by women in a remote village in South Africa. "Once filled with tea," it
read, "Now filled with love." I did love that card, so much that I framed it and then began to
wonder if I could make a card from a tea bag. The cards I create don't look anything like the
one that inspired me. And they continue to evolve. Ever since then, I've been tearing up tea
bags and putting them back together in funny little ways." You will enjoy her creativity.

Three Rolfing Sessions
Quantity:
1
3 one-hour sessions for one person. Rolfing Structural Integration combines hands-on body
work and movement education. It manipulates the body's connective tissue to rebalance and
bring relief from chronic pain, stress, and injury. Using their fingers, hands, and elbows,
Rolfers slowly work through deep layers of tissue to change structural patterns in the body by
transforming fascial patterns and releasing restrictions. Results can be dramatic, and the
process is generally relaxing and not painful. Expires November, 2015. Value is $85 per
session.

Carlos is Back!
Quantity:
1
Carlos is back to find another good UU home. For those of you who don't know him, he's a 4ft rooster sculpture, quite unique, and he could be yours to foster for ONE YEAR! He could
live in your yard, on your porch, or in your kitchen. He is colorful and fun and last year's
winners Dannielle North, Matt and Titan Flynn, and Lucy Cabieles say he doesn't eat much.
They are sad to see him go, but now it's your turn to take Carlos home, make him part of your
family for one year, then return him to the church before the next auction so another family
can enjoy his company! (Unless Dannielle outbids you!)
