ALL HANDS ON DECK! ANNOUNCING OUR NEW CHECK OUT PROCEDURE
This year we are making dramatic changes in the Auction check out proce- dure. In the Benedictine Spirit of Community, there has been a collective decision to simplify the process so that the evening is “hassle free” and allows everyone to have a wonderful time. The Priory Staff and Auction Volunteers thank you in advance for your support with these changes.
• We will no longer be creating invoices or taking payment the night of the event.
• After the silent auction closes at 7:30pm, the winning bidders will be determined. From8:30pmuntil10:00pm,thesilentauctionareawillre- open.
