Rotary TV Auction 2016 Kick-Off

 

 

Details about the auction were reviewed by Jackson and Tony.  April 3rd is this year’s auction from noon to 9PM at the Martin Community Center in Biddeford.  Next meeting is next Tuesday the 26th at 8AM and SBSI in the community room on the first floor.  Enter from rear parking area.  Deadline to donate items is 2/26.  Goal is 410 items.

 

If you have a company or individual that would like to donate a service of some type but doesn’t have the time or energy to make a gift certificate (if they don’t already have some), then Julie Villemaire can produce a gift certificate for them.  The certificates have an embossed seal along with Julie’s signature on them so the business owner/individual will know they are originals and not copies. They can view the certificate ahead of time for their approval if they would feel more at ease.

 

Bid Numbers:  Auction participants should call ahead to receive a Bid Number so they are all set for the day of the auction.  We typically have over 500 people bidding.  Bid Numbers help make the whole process much more efficient.  The more numbers we can hand out ahead of time, the less phone calls Julie receives prior to the auction and the less phone calls the Pic N Pay area receives the actual day of the auction.  If you had a Bid Number last year, you will be all set for this year. Julie will be sending a mass e-mail out to last year’s bidders to remind them of the upcoming auction as well as to give them their number for this year’s auction.  If you did not have a Bid Number last year, please get in touch with Julie at villemaire@maine.rr.com so she can add you to the e-mail list when the time comes.  Reminders will be sent out as we get closer to the event. Always remember to “Bid High, Bid Often!”

 

Inventory Slips:  Please be sure to fill out the inventory slips as completely as possible!  Attached  is a sample slip for your reference.  If you have any questions please don’t be afraid to ask.  Out of 10 slips received so far, only 4 of them had complete information.
