Awesome Items at the Charity Auction

The Lodge has been busy preparing for their 12th Annual Charity Auction. We are very excited for this event which will be on Tuesday April 19, 2022. The Auction will offer a chance for bidders to win wrapped-up mystery items donated by members, which can be fun and exciting. Additionally, there will be a silent auction with items including beautiful gift baskets, a weekend in the White Mountains, 150 gallons of home heating oil, a Gloucester boat ride and theater tickets. There should be something for every taste and in every bid range.
