List of Silent Auction Items

Here's a list of some of the items we have up for bid in our silent auction. We are still collecting donations so please keep checking back for updates.

The silent auction will be held in the school cafeteria and all items will be on display. Auction Opens - 6:00pm. Auction Closes - 8:00pm SHARP.

Silent Auction Rules

  1. Please write your name, other requested information and bid amounts legibly on the bid sheet beside the item for which you are bidding.
  2. No children allowed in the Auction room without their parents/guardian present. Bidding may be done by adults only.
  3. Please take note of the minimum bid and the raise amount of each item for which you are bidding. There is a minimum to start the bidding on each item, which is clearly listed on the bid sheet. After the initial bid is placed on the item, one must raise the bid by the advance amount also clearly listed on the item’s bid sheet. You cannot raise the advance less than the stated incremental amount. You may bid a greater amount than the advance amount stated and in fact, may be the best bidding strategy to get the item that you want.
  4. Be aware that all bids are a commitment to buy the item, in the event that you are the winning bidder.
  5. HAPPY BIDDING! Remember that the funds raised today are being used for a good cause. Each bid and advance helps our school, Madison Elementary, so bid SPIRITED and LIVELY!
  6. At the close of the auction, we will highlight the winning bids and we will announce the winning bidder for each item. You may then pay and pick up the items at the Cashier. If you win an item and are not in attendance at the close of auction, we will contact you to arrange payment and pick up of the item. All items must be claimed by Wednesday, December 5, 2007.

Many thanks to our donors for their very generous contributions! If you have something to donate, please contact one of our Silent Auction co-chairs as soon as possible:
