We are excited to have 20 very special silent auction items which will remain open for bidding during the dinner portion of the evening. While most silent auction bidding will close at 7:00 p.m., certain items have been selected to be part of the Extended Silent Auction and will be open for table-side bidding until 9:30 p.m. For your convenience, volunteers will come to your table twice during the evening with bid sheets. These sheets will list the current highest bids and allow you to out-bid your competition without leaving the ballroom. If an item is "hot" (multiple bids of the same amount) a Lakeland College representative will oversee the final winning bid.
