Our annual auction will take place during our 12/8 service at the Decorah Senior Center. Auction proceeds will benefit Northeast Iowa Community Action Corporation‘s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program* and our own fellowship. The event will include both a silent auction and a high-energy, exciting spoken auction with Decorah UU member Matthew Alexander serving as auctioneer.
The success of our auction depends upon the items our members and friends donate!
Here are some ideas for auction items, but you’re limited only by your creativity!
Activities
- Dinner gatherings: International? Themed? Vegetarian! (Remember the point is community without too much hard work!)
- Game night, movie night, or play reading night
- A guided hike or a bike ride ending with a picnic lunch
Services
- Lessons: language, bread making, sewing, or knitting
- Yard help: an hour or two of gardening planning, weeding, mowing, or snow removal
- Carpentry, plumbing, or home repair
- Computer help
Goods
- Homemade goods: bread, desserts, or other baked goodies
- Bounty from the garden, either from this fall or promises of sharing next summer
- Handmade, antique, or high-end goods that need a new home
- Photos, pottery, handmade crafts, artwork, jewelry
Please contact Julie Ohde by DECEMBER 4 at 563-277-009 or Email Julie to let her know what you will be donating. If it is a physical item, there is a designated drop off or you can bring it to the service on December 1. Julie can answer any questions you may have.
* The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program is designed to aid qualifying low-income Iowa households in the payment of a portion of their residential heating costs for the winter heating season, to encourage regular utility payments, to promote energy awareness, and to encourage reduction of energy usage through energy efficiency, client education, and weatherization.
