As you all know it begins online, and concludes at the Ball.......That is when all the fun begins.....!!! You can bid online from September 1, 2009 but................ALL ONLINE BIDDING STOPS on Sunday September 27th, as I am leaving for Nashville to get things all set up for the fun part.....If you have never been to one of our "Silent Auctions" you have missed out.......Don't miss out this year!!!
