OPCUG's Silent Auction

For our December meeting, the OPCUG will have a silent auction. All the items will be displayed with a bidding sheet so that you can write your name and your bid as often as you want, and at the end of the meeting, the highest bidder wins the item. All the proceeds will be donated to the Ottawa Food Bank. So, if you have some good stuff that you would like to donate, please send us an with a description of what you want to donate. All the items shall be brought at the December meeting, and if there is no bid, please take them back.

We will also have a box to collect your non-perishable food donations for the food bank, and for those who prefer to give money, we'll collect it at the table. With its food industry partnerships and bulk purchasing power, the Ottawa Food Bank turns every $1 donated into $5 worth of food.

The silent auction is Wednesday, December 11th, 2013 at around 9:00pm (the meeting starts at 7:30pm and is open to all for free), at the auditorium of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, 1867 St Laurent Blvd., Ottawa, Ontario.

Note 1: Donations in cash and of items that generate a bid of $10 and over are tax deductible.
Note 2: When multiples of the same item are offered, then the highest bidder gets to choose the number of items desired, each one at the highest bid price, followed by the next highest bidder for the next bid price, and so on until all the items are depleted.
