Club’s First Internet Auction Set for May 5th-12th

1. Internet bidding will launch May 5th, 2010 and continue until May 12th with gradual closing on blocks.

2. If the merchant wishes, we will return 50% of what we sell the item for to the merchant.

a. Donated merchants will be advertised on the radio, newspaper and television.

b. The merchant may wish to keep the item(s) in their location during the auction and we will provide posters that acknowledge the merchant for their participation and let customers know that they can bid for the item online. It will also be noted on the internet site that the item may be viewed at the merchant's location.

3. All merchandise collected by the Rotary volunteers from the donating merchants, with descriptions must be delivered to Kathy Rothlisberger at Stephen's Funeral Home.

4. We need really good descriptions on the items.

5. The key to success for the auction is the items themselves. We need all Rotarians to make an effort to approach businesses and individuals for donations. Thanks for your help.
