O/T: QUARTER AUCTION 7/13
As a final tribute to the ACS Relay for Life 2009 , I have been invited to come to a quarter auction as the charity host for the evening of July 13th at 7 p.m. in Dundalk.
In order for me to be the charity host(ess) I need to have 20 people join me!!!
Please come out and support me for the American Cancer Society on July 13th at:
1721 Bayard Avenue in Dundalk (off of Holarbird Avenue).
The location is called Kimberly Farms Hall (Formerly the Hunting and Fishing Club)
If you are able to attend, please say at the door that you are with OH or Ren.
If you have any questions, please call me. 410-258-0525.
What is a Quarter Auction??
Items are placed on a table in the front of the room, and are auctioned one by one. The "caller" holds up an item, reads the item description from a tag attached to the item, & tells the quarter bid amount for it.
The items are quarter-marked by the retail value set by their company.
$12-$25 value = 1 Quarter Bid
$26-$50 value = 2 Quarter Bid
$51-$75 value = 3 Quarter Bid
$76 or more = 4 Quarter Bid
Once the item is introduced, guests can "bid" on that item by putting a quarter in the bucket that is passed down their table and hold up their bid paddle that has a number on it, and a corresponding chip with the same number is in a bucket up front with the caller.
The caller calls the number, if the person with that number has her paddle the air (signifying she bid on the item), she wins it for that bid amount (ex. 1 quarter). If the caller calls a number and the person did not bid, the caller will continue to call numbers until someone wins.

I am a quarter auction addict :) But alas this is on a Monday and I can't make it :(
I will share that I am a vendor at a QA on July 26th in Lancaster PA for a Relay for Life team if anyone is interested in driving up... (also have one August 9th for a local group who raise money for their employees to put on a HUGE Christmas party for local kids)
