September 2017 Meeting–Annual Auction!

Our next meeting is Tuesday, September 12, 2017 at 7:00 PM. We will begin with a short business meeting, followed by refreshments and socializing, and then our program. It’s our ANNUAL AUCTION!!! Rules are listed below and will be included, along with auction slips, in the next bulletin. There are always some wonderful pieces (and some great bargains) to be had at this event. There will be NO silent auction at this meeting.

We meet in the dining room of the Bristol Senior Center, 240 Stafford Ave. in Bristol.

Hope to see you there!

AUCTION RULES
1. You must be a Club member in good standing (dues paid for the current year) in order to sell; however, anyone is allowed to buy. Our membership chairperson will be at the auction to take those last-minute dues.

2. You may auction up to three items. You will receive 80% of the sale price of all items. The Club will keep the remaining 20%. Because of the calculations involved in cashing out the auction for multiple sellers, you may not get your proceeds until the next meeting.

3. Minimum bids shall not be less than $1. You may specify a higher minimum. The item will be returned to you if the minimum is not met.

4. All materials must be accompanied by an official auction slip. Several slips are included in the bulletin, for your convenience. There will be more available at the auction, in the event that you need more of them.

5. You may donate specimens for auction with 100% of the proceeds to benefit the Club.

6. Preferred auction items are items properly pertaining to the geological sciences or lapidary art (including, but not limited to mineral specimens, tools, jewelry, fossils, and publications).
