The primary fundraiser for the Educational Opportunity Grant (EOG) program is the symposium auction.
The EOG Auction starts in the Instant Galley with ~150 turnings in a silent auction, but the 65 pieces with the highest bids move to a live auction at the banquet Saturday night.
Volunteers are needed to pack-up these turnings on Saturday afternoon, move them to the banquet room, set them up for the live auction and then re-pack them after they’re sold.
Volunteers will be handling work from some of the best turners in the world, so klutzes need not apply!
Volunteers are also needed as “spotters” during the live auction. If you’re a lively, outgoing person and can work the crowd to bid higher, this is the job for you!
If you can help in either way, please contact BAWA member Jim Rodgers (jlrodgers236@comcast.net ) who chairs this committee.
You do not have to be registered to help, and spouses and friends are encouraged to volunteer.
