2010 NHF Spring Auction- A Night at the Oscars

Saturday April 17 at 6:30pm

A Night at the Oscars, this year’s annual spring auction, is a chance to fill your social calendar with dinners and parties; bid on a vacation get-away; sign up for tours, lessons, or other services; and buy fine woodcrafts, jewelry or other unique and useful items made and/or donated by talented people right here at NHF.

Bidding at this year’s auction will take place in three different areas:
The Quimby Room—silent auction on all non-food physical items
The Foyer—silent auction on food items and services
The Sanctuary—silent auction on gift certificates, with the live auction to follow at 8pm

There are two ways you can bid on items in the auction:
Silent Bidding:  Each family, on arrival at NHF, will receive a bidding number.  For auction items you want, write your bidding number and the amount of your bid in the appropriate spaces on the sign-up sheet.  Your bid must meet or exceed the bid step listed at the top of each sheet to be valid.  Check back often to make sure you are not bumped by a higher bidder.  Outbidding your dearest friend is the name of the game here, so keep your eye on your bid and on the clock to make sure you get what you want (bidding in each area closes at a different time).
Live Auction:  This is the entertainment portion of the evening when our auctioneer wannabes take the stage to sell some of our most popular offerings, including one-of-a-kind items and services as well as places at some of our gourmet dinner parties.  Hold up your bidding number (on the back of your auction catalog) and holler out your bid.  Don’t be shy—the competition can sometimes be intense!

The success of our auction depends on your donations, so please fill out the Donation Contract and return it to the church office!  Everyone has something to offer— a dinner, dessert or wine-tasting party; a tour of your favorite antique shops; or a unique food or gift item. 

We are also asking members of Northern Hills Fellowship to pass on our Donation Letter to your favorite local business and ask if they would consider making a donation.
