Tis' the season for giving and that is exactly what happened during our recent benefit auction. Over 70 works of art and home service certificates were auctioned to the highest bidders on Saturday November 8th.
The Williams Mill was transformed into a bustling complex of treasure seekers. Adrenaline was high as the dozens of bidders jostled for the best positions to get their last minute bids on paper during the silent auctions. Auction winners only had a few moments to congratulate themselves as more conquests were waiting at the next station.
Once the silent auctions were completed everyone headed into the Glass Studio to participate in the live auction hosted by our wonderful auctioneer, Joe Pettipas.
The mood was celebratory and bidders once again postitioned themselves for the best vantage point. Introductions and thank yous were announced while the crowd waited for the first item to be presented. Bidding was generous and often, just as our auctioneer had requested.
There were many new visitors to the Mill and as always our dear friends who support us in so many ways. We want to thank all of you for supporting the arts and Habitat for Humanity Halton.
We are proud to announce that over $6000.00 was raised to benefit Habitat for Humanity.
