May 2024 Club Meeting and Spring Auction
May 11, 2024 @ 6:00 pm - 8:45 pm
Our May Club meeting will include brief club proceedings and then we will jump right into our Spring Auction (which means, yes… we are having more than one auction this year!)
Our club auctions are some of our biggest Club fundraising activities. We will have a “Live” auction segment to go along with the Silent Auction. The success of this event in the past has been thanks to the charitable donations of our friends and members.
Donations are greatly appreciated, so please reach out to program@minnesotamineralclub.

You will have the opportunity to list any items you would like to donate so we can get an idea of the amount of space needed for items. If you have a donation, but are unable to attend the event, please contact Ashley to arrange pick up/drop off.
To make the donation process run smoothly, we encourage members to print bid sheets and fill out the following fields: “Donated by”, “Description of item”, and “Minimum Starting Bid”. MMC volunteers will assign a lot number at the silent auction. Click here to download Bid Sheets.
We hope you can join us!
