If your item is in the silent auction, please know we are heartily grateful for all donations, but with 400 items and only about 40 live slots, it's not possible to honor all requests. We consider variety of item types and donors, items that we know from past auctions will inspire lively bidding, and the experience of our professional auctioneer. All items are important and very much appreciated. http://togetherauction.com/firstuu Page 77 Live Auction Items 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 M29 D4 D6 D10 D11 D13 A23 M1 D14 10 11 12 13 14 15 D16 D17 D19 D35 A14 V1 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 M23 D9 D22 D23 D24 D25 V2 N27 O48 D30 D31 D28 D32 D36 30 31 32 33 F4 X4 O1 O39 Kitchen Aid Classic Tilt-Head Stand Mixer Encounter with the Rogue Potato--That's Irish Potato Fusion of Food Fare from Famous Films Vegan South American Wine Dinner Alice, Linda and Julia Ad Hoc at Home Antique Chinese Embroidery Reserved Parking Space 1 Wine tasting hosted by Marc & Julie Pinsonneault, Edgel Alley & Leslie Armstrong Dining Along the Danube An Evening in Modena (MAW-din-ah) Italia Summer Solstice Vegetarian Dinner Murderous Meal and Mystery Merriment Handcrafted Amish Jewelry Box Sanibel, FL Gulf View 2 Bedroom Condo - 1 week rental Neuton Cordless Electric Lawn Mower Summer Patio Dinner Clintonville Strolling Progressive Dinner Mostly Martha on the Patio A Fondue Evening Colonial Virginia Dinner Secret Garden - Vacation Home The Great Musicians Film Festival 3 Nested Round Shaker Boxes New Orleans Dinner Dinner on the Patio Transylvanian Fall Dinner Roving Cocktail Party - 7th Annual California Dreaming: Food and Wine of Napa and Sonoma Valleys Famous Chocolate Mousse Torte Four Day Weekend in the North Woods (July 9-12) Antique Sewing Cabinet Jack Kelley Vase Page 78 34 D18 35 D34 36 D38 37 D39 38 S2 39 M2 Dinner In Fez Brazilian Summer Dinner July Salmon Cookout on the Patio Gargantuan Gastronomical Greek Dinner Rent Your Dinner Help Reserved Parking Space 2 A Note from the Auctioneer Many of the live auction items will be sold using the “choice with privilege” method. In this method the highest bidder has the privilege to take one or more of the items being offered i.e. places at the dinner or pieces of art work etc. The high bidder could choose them all and pay the bid price times that quantity or take one or more and pay that price each etc. If there are any of the items left after this first offering, the auctioneer may offer choice of the remaining items to the under bidder(s) or repeat the process as in the beginning until all are gone. The only way to be sure you get the quantity you want is to be the HIGHEST BIDDER! Green is glamorous, baby! This catalog was printed on recycled paper.
