Serendipity Auction Update: October 8, 2021

Donations, Donations, Donations!
2021 Serendipity Hybrid Auction  
November 14-20, 2021 

The Serendipity Auction needs you (yes, you)!!   

Can you make something: knit a scarf, bake a cake, bead a necklace, woodwork? Do you have a piece of art (painting or ceramics) you want to share with others? These donations have always been treasured as auction offerings.     

Last year’s virtual events and activities were a hit to get us through a long winter and fostered connection. This year, the popular in-person group events from past auctions can be offered. In our covenantal relationship, we ask for the offerings to align with current UCE COVID-19 guidelines. New this year, you can make your donation directly in the UCE auction website. Deadline for donations is November 7, 2021 

If you have a favorite business (hair salon, restaurant or bookstore), consider seeking their support of UCE and our larger community by asking for a donation. Click here for a sample business letter and business donation form for you to use. One way to live our principles is to consider purchasing a gift certificate from a minority owned business to donate to the auction.

The goal of the Serendipity Auction is to strengthen or create connections between UCE members and friends while raising funds for UCE activities. The Auction Committee is available to help you decide what and how to donate.
