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.  There are silent auctions and a live auction.

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.

Can I get a refund for a dinner or event?

Refunds should be requested in writing or email addressed to the auction chair and will be issued for the following reasons:

  • The event sponsor does not hold the event.
  • The event sponsor changes the date of the event and the attendee cannot attend on that new date. This does not include when alternate dates are announced in advance and appear in the auction catalog or bid sheets.

If you sign up for an event and later find you cannot attend, please inform the host of the event, and then take either of these steps:

  • give or sell your place to another person. Finding a person willing to accept or purchase the item or event is your responsibility.
  • donate the event item to the church and contact the Auction Chair who will invite someone from the Auction Substitute List.
