Silent Auction 2008

Today is Silent Auction day! OLLI at Mason will have its very first Silent Auction. The auction will take place in TA-3. Doors open at 9:00 and close at 9:55 for the annual meeting in TA-1. Following the meeting, at approximately 11:45, the auction reopens until 1:30. When the door to the auction closes, we will figure out who got what and then open it again for you to collect and pay. We'll accept cash, checks or credit cards.

A pot-luck picnic and cookout on the Tallwood lawn also begins immediately following the annual meeting.
