Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the EUUC auction?
This is the largest fund raiser for the church other than the yearly canvass.
How does it work?
Members and friends donate items of value and then we buy them from each other. (It’s sort of like capitalism except we all benefit!) There are silent auctions and a live auction.
Why do we have to raise money this way—we have already pledged?
Since not enough of our members tithe yet, we have to raise additional money to meet our yearly church expenses with fundraisers like the NW Artists’ Holiday Show and the Auction. Besides it is FUN!
What can I do?
Now is the time to be thinking about something of value you could donate. This can be a thing or a service or an event. This is not a white elephant sale so we don’t want things left over from your garage sale but rather something that you would buy. A service or event can be a dinner, leading a hike, several hours of babysitting or painting. Be creative. If you own a vacation home or time share, a weekend or a week away would be a great donation.
Are there bargains at the auction?
We hope not. This is the time to pay full value or more for your purchases. Bargains can be found at our annual Rummage Sale in May.
