We will be selling selected items during the online auction only.  This year the online auction will feature some items valued over $100. When donors give multiple items of the same value, one is posted in the online auction, the other is on the TV auction. So take advantage of the opportunity and start bidding Feb 17th on items like a VFW Hall rental ($250), and Easton Braces - Mark Halvorsen DMD Certificates ($1,000).

Online bidding starts February 17 and ends Friday, March 1.  All online bidding ends two days before the live auction.  We encourage all winners to please pick-up physical items at the Stonehill College Shields Science Center on Sunday during the live auction March 3^rd from 3:00 to 8:00 pm.

If you cannot pick-up the item, because you are out of state, etc.) and need to have it shipped to you, you will need to pay an additional shipping and processing fee (which will be processed after the close of the online auction).

Our solicitation team has been hard at work bringing in wonderful donations from many generous donors, but we always welcome new donations!  Maybe you know someone who has some sports tickets?  Tickets to an upcoming show? Or maybe a vacation rental?  How about dinner with a local personality?   Special parking spot?

We can use them all, download our donation form here or contact Steve Hoffman at auction@eastonlions.org for more information.

By now everyone who is a solicitor should have received a solicitation list and donation form for each business.  Confirm the donation (and script) with the donor, make any changes on the donation form as needed, and then submit to:

Ken Love
18 Guinevere Road
North Easton, MA 02356

Make sure to submit the donation form (and any changes to the script) along with the item or certificate (if the donor is submitting their own certificate rather than having us create the certificate).

Remember, the earlier the donation comes in, the more exposure the donors gets on our auction website.

Any questions?  Contact Steve Hoffman at hoffman5000@comcast.net or send an email to auction@EastonLions.org.

It's happening through the incredible team of Lions members and friends who have been working their Lions tails off!  Putting on a live televised auction is no easy feat, and we are fortunate to have a dedicated team who devote their time, efforts, and talent to make it all come together.  Thank you all for your hard work!!
