Auction
What is this?
It is a VJO tradition where we
auction off items to the highest bidder and the proceeds go to a
local charity.
What do I need to
do?
Bring a gently used item(s) from
home. It can be something you have been trying to get rid of, that
may interest someone else or something you have received but cannot
use. The real fun starts in the bidding process, trying to outbid
each other.
Practice Schedule on Thurs
