2018 Endowment Auction at National ESP Conference, Tuesday, October 2
In less than two months, our chapter will be hosting the National ESP Conference in Manhattan. One of the duties of our chapter is to organize the Silent and Live Auctions benefiting the national ESP Development Fund. The auction is scheduled for Tuesday, October 2 -- the silent auction will be held from 3:25 - 6:30 p.m., followed by the Live Auction from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
The ESP Auction is always an important part of the national conference. In addition to the fun of being involved in the auction, the funds are critical for providing recognition awards and the scholarship and grants that are given to our members annually. Over the years, the Alpha Rho Chapter has benefited from these funds in scholarships and grants.
Our committee is looking for donations of items for both the silent and live auctions.
Silent Auction: These items are suggested to be valued at least $30. The item may be a craft, a collectible, a lesson, service or an outing or something purchased or something old. Other ideas include homemade jams, jewelry, beverages, books, foods or other items.
Live Auction: These items are suggested to be of higher value and may include vacation getaway rentals, handcrafted items, wine or wine tours, fun items, sporting event tickets, unique state products, celebrity autographed items and more.
Items should be carried to the Registration Area of the conference hotel on Monday, October 1, or Tuesday, October 2, during registration times. We'll have a committee member available to receive the auction items. You'll also need to complete a consignment form with a description and the estimated value of your item.
