Curtis Cultural Center Annual Auction

At
the Curtis Center in Downtown Meriden across from city hall!
The Augusta Auction 2009 will be Saturday night, November 14th, and
we hope you will be able to join us. The Augusta Curtis Cultural Center
is an independent, self-supporting non-profit organization dedicated
to fostering art, science, history, sports and social interaction for
people of all ages, races, religions and beliefs in the greater Meriden
area. Each year we must raise upwards of $80,000 to keep it running
smoothly. We raise this money through the contributions of hundreds
of individuals and organizations in the form of annual memberships,
building rentals, grant writing, out-right donations and participation
in our fund-raisers.We hold the Augusta Auction annually. This gives
us the opportunity to gather rare, unusual, and desirable items. This
results in bargains for the public and generates vital funds for the
center. Items generally sell between $25 and $2,500, and run the gamut
from antiques to construction services, thematic gift baskets to get-aways
in Martha’s Vineyard and Nova Scotia. The Augusta Auction 2009
Catalog, containing advance descriptions of auction items and their
donors, will be distributed in our area around October 15th. The catalog
will also showcase paid advertisements from area businesses.A private
preview party will be held 6:00 to 7:00pm on the night of the auction.
Guests will enjoy coffee and desserts in the Rotunda, and may peruse
auction items at their leisure, as well as choose seats for the auction.
Tickets for the preview are $15, or 2 for $25. Doors will then open
to the general public at 7:00 and the auction will begin at 7:30, there
is no charge to attend auction only preview party in the Rotunda. Once
again, the professional staff of Nest Egg Auctions have volunteered
to conduct the auction on our behalf, assisted by some of our dazzling
local community leaders.We hope you’ll join us for the auction
on November 14th and get some of your Holiday shopping done! We’re
