The Serendipity Auction has been around for at least 40 years and this year it’s getting a few exciting upgrades.
We are thrilled to announce that for the first time Curt’s Cafe is catering the event. Come and enjoy delicious food with a purpose. There will be gluten-free and vegetarian options available, and a vegan option upon request.
We also have a brand new auctioneer who performs magic. It will be fun for all of you to meet him and enjoy some new tricks. We are sure you won’t be disappointed.
There’s more—this year we have two new co-chairs, Susan Comstock and Jenny Walsh. They are incredibly enthusiastic and coming up with inspired ways to make this a very special evening. You can contact them with any questions you have about donations or the event. Take a look at the catalog here and you’ll see the creative donations already posted.
Another change is that we are encouraging people to bring their checkbook this year. There will be a service fee of 3% for all credit card transactions to match the actual cost the church incurs. Think of it as a positive change, because if we avoid service fees, UCE will be able to raise even more funds for all our fantastic programming. Plan ahead and bring your checkbook!
What else is new? Your one-of-a-kind donation! Help by providing a new and exciting item for the auction. There is still time to donate items at the following link: http://www.togetherauction.com/ucevanston. The deadline for your item to be featured in the catalog is October 29th.
