Silent Auction

Purpose:  The N.W. Women of Hope Conference has a heart for reaching into our community.  We selected two nonprofit organizations to assist in supporting. 

(1)   ALIVE:  an organization sponsored by YWCA which helps protect women and their children who are in harm’s way.

“The ALIVE Shelter is a confidentially located home in the Kitsap County area. Operated by the YWCA, the ALIVE Shelter staff have been serving abused women and their children since 1978. While at the home, they help each woman explore the best ways to begin a safe life for her and her family. They strive to provide an environment that nurtures empowerment, self-esteem, and self-worth. They are committed to providing a multi-cultural and diverse program responding to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of all battered women in our community.”

(2) OneChurch-One Family

The mission of OneChurch-One Family is to demonstrate the love of God in our community by bringing homeless families into nurturing relationships with support teams from Kitsap county’s churches, resulting in the families ability to obtain long term housing, increasing their growth and stability.

Proceeds from the Silent Auction will be donated to these 2 organizations.

Silent Auction Procedures

 Auction Hours:

 Friday night:  6 pm - 6:55 pm; 9 pm - 9:30 pm

Saturday:   7:45 am -  8:55 am; 10:45 am - 12:55 pm;
1:45 am -   3:10 pm   silent auction CLOSED

After the auction is closed, our team of bankers will gather and alphabetize the highest bidders and divide them up alphabetically among the bankers.  Each banker will have the names of the highest bidders written in big print on poster board and hung above them.  This way the bidders will know what line to stand in.  After paying for their item(s), the banker will hand a retriever (standing behind them in the auction room) a paper with the # of their item(s).  The retriever will retrieve the correct auction item(s) and hand it to the bidder.  Only retrievers will be allowed into the auction room.

The names of the highest bidders will also be given to ? so the names can be displayed on the overhead in the sanctuary before the end of the conference.  This will help with "crowd control" in the hallway and foyer, and give the highest bidders a reminder to pay for and pick up their items.

 All procurement FORMS need to be turned in to me now.
