At this year's auction we had silent and live auctions of merchant baskets and of art created by local artists. Items included an After Eight tuxedo, donated by Formal Affairs on Main Street in Newark; a one week stay at a 2 bedroom condo in Bethany Beach; a "Let's get moving" package which includes a home inspection and radon detection by A-1, a termite inspection by True Pest Control, and lawyer closing costs by Vance A. Funk III; and many more great items.
