Brown Paper bag Auction

Our annual opportunity to snaffle a bargain as our intrepid auctioneers seek the highest bidder.

This annual fund raiser takes the form of an auction where members bring along a gift wrapped in brown paper. These are auctioned off to the highest bidder and this year the funds will go towards the club’s contribution to our Rotary Foundation.

It is usual for the “gift” in the parcel to be around $15 to $25 worth of value. There are some items that are worth a lot more than that and if this is the case please let the auctioneer know prior to the auction so that he can ensure the bidding starts at a fair figure and thereby get a good bid for the item.

Have fun wrapping your contribution. This is a really great fun night with lots of laughs and much interest in what the bidder has bought.

Bring either additional cash or your cheque book (wipe off the dust first) and be prepared to place a bid or two and to enjoy yourself!

Our Brown Paper Bag Auction is most definitely a partners' night. So mark that fact in your diary.

Would members bringing partners or friends and visitors please remember to let the club know how many in your party by advising rcpapologies@gmail.com
