 Meet the Auctioneer

We can’t have an auction without an auctioneer, and we

have the area’s best auctioneer to help us. Bear
Stephenson has been doing auctions in this area for many
years through Stephenson Realty and Auction Company
in Clinton. In addition to his commercial endeavors, Bear
also donates his services to more than 60 charity auctions
each year for organizations such as March of Dimes,
United Way, Oak Ridge Arts Council, Oak Ridge Christian
Women’s Club, Appalachian Ballet Company, business and
professional clubs, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and many
others. We are fortunate to have him donate his time for
our auction. Expect a wild time—Bear always makes it
fun.

I LUUV ORUUC Auction

We have planned an evening of fun, good food, good

company and, best of all, a wonderful list of bid items.

Whether or not you have donated anything, we think you

will enjoy bidding on services and items donated by
members and friends of ORUUC. There is no obligation
to purchase anything. This is not only a fundraising event;
we want it to be a FUN event as well. Our goals are to
raise money for ORUUC and to have a great time in the
process.

Hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be served beginning at

5:30. At registration you will receive a coupon for a
complimentary glass of wine or beer. More are available
for a donation; all other refreshments are complimentary.

PLEASE BRING THIS BOOKLET WITH YOU TO

THE AUCTION, AS THERE ARE VERY FEW
EXTRA COPIES AVAILABLE.

 GENERAL INFORMATION

You must register to obtain a bidding number. Registration will

take place the evening of the auction, Saturday, February 5, 2011.

There are three types of auction: a Live Auction, a Silent Auction

and a Fixed Price Auction. How each of these works is described
in this booklet.

Take time to read this booklet. Examine the wide array of

services and items listed. It is a good idea to mark the items of
interest to you ahead of time, prior to the fast pace and excitement
of the auction.

BIDDER NUMBERS

For a $5 registration fee you will receive a bidder number. Use

your bidder number on all Live Auction bids that you make.
Bidder numbers help us keep track of your purchases.

LIVE AUCTION—HOW IT WORKS

Each Live Auction item is listed in this booklet. Each item has a
number, a short description and a quantity or number of spaces.

The auctioneer will auction each item in turn, beginning with the
first item listed. To bid, hold your bidding number in the air so
the auctioneer can see it, and make an offer higher than the
present offer. Each bid must be recognized by the auctioneer.
When the auctioneer declares the item sold, the bidding is over for
that item and the auctioneer will announce the winning bidder’s
number and the final price. If you just can’t make it to the auction
but really want to bid on something, have someone else bid for
you.

6
 SILENT AUCTION—HOW IT WORKS

A form for each of the Silent Auction items listed in this booklet
will be available for perusal starting Sunday, January 23. The
form will list the item number and have a short description,
including whether a minimum bid is required. The form will also
indicate how many of that particular item are offered, if more
than one. Some of the actual items, or at least photographs of
them, will also be available.

To make a bid on a particular item, write your name, phone

number, and the amount of your bid on the blank line
immediately below the last bid. If there is more than one item
available, be sure to indicate how many of the item you want at
that price. Check the bid forms in the days before and during the
auction to see if someone has made a higher bid than yours. You
can continue to bid on an item as many times as you wish.

The silent auction will close at precisely 7:00 PM the evening of

the auction. At that time, someone will be responsible for
indicating the bids already made, and bids will not be accepted
afterwards. There will be announcements several times during
the evening about how long it is until the auction closes.

7
 FIXED PRICE AUCTION—HOW IT WORKS

A form for each of the Fixed Price Auction items listed in this
booklet will be available for perusal starting Sunday, January
23. The form will list the item number and a have short
description, including the fixed price of that item. The form
will also indicate how many of that particular item—or how
many spaces--are offered, if more than one. Some of the actual
items, or at least photographs of them, will also be available.

Because the price for each item is fixed, you do not have to bid
on these items. Signing up on the form will get you the item at
the indicated price. Be sure to indicate how many of the item
you are purchasing. IF THERE ARE A LIMITED NUMBER
OF OFFERINGS OF AN ITEM, THEY WILL BE AWARDED
IN THE ORDER THAT YOU SIGNED UP. Check the forms
in the days before and during the auction to see if someone has
taken their name off the list, thus opening up another spot.

The fixed price auction will close at precisely 7:00 PM the

evening of the auction. At that time, someone will be
responsible for indicating the bids already made, and bids will
not be accepted afterwards. There will be announcements
several times during the evening about how long it is until the
auction closes.

DOOR PRIZES

We will be awarding a number of door prizes. At various times

throughout the Live Auction we will draw bidding numbers at
random for the door prizes. We do not offer a choice among
door prizes, but in keeping with the positive spirit of the auction
we encourage negotiations with other winners of prizes you
wish you had won.

8
 KIDS AT THE AUCTION

Children’s activities will be provided during the auction, starting at

5:30 pm and lasting until the closing of the auction activities. If
you plan to bring children on auction night, please RSVP to the
church no later than Tuesday, February 1, and leave the names
and ages of the children.

CLAIMING YOUR PURCHASES

please take it with you after the silent auction winners have been
announced, which will happen immediately after the live auction.

All services, lessons, dinners, items, etc., purchased this year

should be delivered within one year unless otherwise arranged.
