SILENT AUCTION AND PLANT SALE

It’s finally time!

The Silent Auction will begin after our business meeting on Thursday, April 4th
.

Here’s how it will work...
• A ring of the bell will start the auction.
• The bid sheet for each item will state its estimated value.
• Bidding will start at 20% of the item’s value.
• Bids will increase in $5.00 increments.
• If you bid the full estimated value, the item is YOURS.
• Two or more women may bid together on one item, but please use one name and pay with one check.

We have amazing vendors who are supporting the Issaquah Women’s Foundation by donating their
goods and services to our auction. Please thank them when you stop in their establishments.
