Silent Auction 2017
April—Silent Auction
The club has some little-used equipment (mostly received via donations) that could be better put to active use by our members. We will be holding a silent auction during the April meeting (Thursday, April 6, 2017, 7:00 PM, Red Cross Building, 60 Hawthorne St., Medford). At the silent auction, there will be a bidding list for each piece of equipment where you can write your bid. Most of the items have a minimum bid, it will be listed on the sheet.
After the main presentation program and the break, the winning bidder will pay via cash or check to the club treasurer.
There will be a silent auction of unused RVARC equipment. Some of the equipment has a minimum bid, it will be listed on the bidding sheet. Payment only by cash or check payable to RVARC. Equipment is sold ‘as-is’ untested condition unless noted otherwise.
