Below is a list of the silent auction items with lot numbers and pictures. Every one of these items belonged to Don and had a special place in his heart, Whether it was the autographed memorabilia, to his love of Texas sports, or the things he loved to collect on his travels. For those of you who do not know how a silent auction works there will be a piece of paper in front of each item with a lot number and the description. On each line a person can put their name contact number, and a bid on that item. At 8:00p.m., we will pick up the papers and see who has the highest bid, announce the winner, and collect the money for charity. Please stay until that time if you think you are going to win.
For people who cannot make it to the memorial and want to bid on something you can email me at jon@dkaustin.net with your absolutely highest bid for the item you want and your contact information. If you want to bid that way, please get me your bid before May 10, 2021 and if you email me, please put silent auction in the subject line and the lot number. The items will be numbered so they will be easy to identify. At the end of the silent auction, I will check the highest bid on the item against your bid and if you win that item, I will set it aside and contact you. At that point you will be responsible not only for the cost of the item but also for any shipping costs, which will obviously be based on size, and a service charge if you pay by credit card. I hope everyone understands as again, this is all going to the center for battered women.
