2009 LCAC FALL GALA SILENT AUCTION

WHAT IS A SILENT AUCTION?

A silent auction offers you the opportunity to buy items that have been donated by businesses, professional contractors and associations, civic organizations and individuals. You have a chance of buying an item by making a bid. That is, you offer an amount of money that you would be willing to pay. Another person may come by and want the same item so he/she may offer more money, making a higher bid. At the end of the auction, the person with the highest bid goes home with the item.

The LCAC Gala Silent Auction has been a wonderful way to help LCAC raise money each year. Your purchases at the event support the fine work that LCAC does in the local community. Items can include:

• Artwork and Couture Gifts
• Autographed Memorabilia
• Children's Interest Items
• Family Museum Passes
• Fine Jewelry
• Getaway Packages with Upscale Accommodations
• Personal Pampering: Massages, Hair Treatments, Spa days
• Product Baskets from Local Merchants
• Professional Photo Shoots
• Professional Teeth Whitening
• Restaurant Gift Certificates
• Sport and Gym Memberships
• Tours of the Capital and Lunch with your Congressman
• Upscale Hotel Stays
