Broadway themed auction at UUCM on May 14

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Marblehead knows how to have fun. Ask anyone who has ever attended one of their annual auctions. This year's auction takes place on Saturday, May 14. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. People are encouraged to arrive then so that they can browse silent auction items and enjoy complimentary refreshments. Purchase a card from the Lucky 52 deck for $20.00. A lucky card is drawn at the start of the live auction, and winner has the choice of any item posted in the live auction prior to bidding.

The live auction part of the evening begins at 7:30 p.m. You may be the lucky one to select from Red Sox tickets, summer sails, an array of delicious gourmet meals, a beauty package, a spa package, car care, or an evening out, with babysitter-if needed. Theatre tickets, dinner gift certificates to a local restaurant are just a few of the items up for auction. Useful services up for bid include: pet sitting, dog walking, tarot card reading, and a massage provided by a licensed physical therapist. Not to be missed are the items that you carry home as the top silent bidder; hand-made jewelry, knit clothing, local art and museum passes to name a just a few.

Join a sing-along of Broadway tunes beginning at 7:00 p.m. under the direction of our musical genius, Karen Gahagan, tinkling the ivories of our grand piano.

Something for everyone is available, whether you enjoy the fun and excitement of Craig Gariepy’s fast paced bidding during the live auction, familiar tunes of Broadway, or the quiet bidding of the silent auction. "It will be a fun filled evening of laughter, good cheer and awesome company," reports Sheila Donovan, Auction Chairperson.

Doors open at 6 PM. Ten-dollar admission includes food and drinks.
