This year’s Goods and Services Auction has come to a close and we are thrilled to report that the final tally exceeded our goal by 60%!  We had a fun and lively auction dinner, attended by 35 UUSR members and friends. Jerry Sharfstein was a spirited and effective auctioneer, hawking the 14 items saved for the live auction.  Thanks to all those who participated by donating and soliciting items and services, and to those that bid, to help us exceed our goal!

Auction highlights:

78 items in categories of Fine art, immediate-purchase food, jewelry, useful home goods and skilled services.

55 Online bidders, members, family and friends of UUSR

35 Live bidders sorting out the 14 items receiving extended bidding at the June 6 Pizza Party

Much gratitude is owed to Carol Chirico and Dave Johnson for stepping in to learn the ropes, co-lead, promote and conduct this year’s fundraiser.
