Sign up now for Palatine Women's Club's annual auction

Mark your calendars for Saturday, Nov. 14, 2009. Bring your friends and prepare to have a great time at the Palatine Women's Club 19th Annual Charity Auction.

The auction will take place at The Cotillion, 360 Creekside, Palatine (Route 53 and Route 14). Doors open at 10:30 a.m. with a live and silent auction preview, and mystery bag sale. A very tasty lunch is served at 11:30 a.m. and our live auction starts at 12:30 p.m. All activities are finished by 3 p.m.

Our live auction includes many beautiful custom theme baskets for those "hard to buy for people" on your holiday list, as well as "one of kind" items causing bidding frenzies. Two hundred mystery bags sell fast and our silent auction contains many items you won't want to miss.

Proceeds from our auction are allocated to local charities such as the Children's Oncology Services, Harper College Education Scholarship Fund, Little Sisters of the Poor-St. Joseph's Home, Palatine Township Needy Family Fund, Palatine Township Senior Citizens Council, and many more. A variety of organizations benefit from our Service Projects throughout the year. For current information please see our Web site at www.palatine-womens-club.org.

Bring a nonperishable food item to donate to the Food Pantry to be eligible for a special prize. Sorry, we cannot accept credit cards for any transactions the day of the auction.
