It is almost Auction Time!

Week 1 of the Silent Auction is starting soon, on Saturday, April 6.  We will be using the online auction website again this year to host the silent auction for two weeks (Apr. 6 – Apr. 21).  The Live Auction will be held next Saturday, April 13st. in the church and over Zoom.  We have a signup where you can RSVP for the live auction, sign up to share food & drink and volunteer to help. Please do this soon so that we have enough food for the event. 

Here is the link to the auction website: uuberks.org/service-auction. If you are planning to donate to the auction, please get your donations in soon on the auction website. Auction item donations must be submitted by Wednesday, Apr 3 to be included in the printable program.

 

You will need to register and purchase a $10 ticket to be able to bid on Silent & Live Auction items. A single ticket can be shared by everyone in your household to bid on Silent Auction items, but you will need a ticket for each adult attending the Live auction in the church. If you just want to watch the Live auction over Zoom, there is no fee.  

 

There will be a dedicated Silent Auction page on the auction website where you can view the different items and place bids, if you have registered and purchased a $10 ticket. The first one will open on Saturday, Apr 6 at 12:01 PM.  and close late on the afternoon of Saturday, Apr 13th. The second one will open on Sunday, Apr. 14th, and close 1 week later.   Once the silent auction is open, you will be able to access the silent auction page on our auction web site at the link above, or you can use the Auctria Mobile Bidding App (Android version,  Apple Version), Just like on the website, with the Auctria app on your smartphone you will be able to browse the catalog and place bids.  For those power users out there, you will also be able to use the app to place bids directly on Live Auction items, while you watch the Live Auction on Zoom on your desktop/laptop/tablet. 

 

Finally, if you would like to volunteer to help with the auction or have a question/suggestion, send us an email at g.service.auction@uuberks.org. Many thanks from the Service Auction Committee.
