Thanks to the generosity of the businesses and individuals who donate all of these dinners, massages, gift baskets, concert tickets, hotel stays, art works, services, and other extravagances, the Silent Auction Committee will offer you shopping for a great cause.
In addition, this year OctoTea 16 has received some especially extravagant contributions that will be offered on eBay. Beginning on September 29th these items will be featured on eBay but, in the meantime, they are available for auction today at the minimum bid by contacting Jay Billing.
