NGFM Presents: Mid-Winter Services Auction - warm, winter, fun
"Raise your paddle!"

Welcome!

Our auction is an important fundraising event (and always a fun party), but it is also a great way to bring people together. Do you have a special talent or skill or a unique item to donate? Can you host a dinner? Does this sound like a fun project to be involved in? Then you've come to the right place!
Yikes! The auction is only -4835 days away, so it's too late for changes to your items to get in the printed catalog, but please make corrections anyway - they will still appear on statements and bid sheets.
