event, the
AUYA may have their bar open and we are welcome guests. Those
who wish
a beverage as part of the event can join others in the AUYA bar in
another part of the building.PLEASE DONATE! - WE NEED YOUR HELP - YOUR DONATION HELPS DRIVE THE AUCTION
This summer, we need you to purchase a gift to donate to the auction. Auction proceeds fund our newsletter.
In a tradition spanning decades, our members purchase items throughout the year and donate them to the auction.
Items from Norway or with a Norwegian theme are best, but any item is fine. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself, “is this an item I would want myself?” The items should be at least $15 in value. NEW ITEMS ONLY PLEASE! We have had a few occasions where members have brought a used or "white elephant" items, not understanding that these should be NEW, NICE, and SOMETHING YOU WOULD WANT FOR YOURSELF.
