Auction Chair Jim Bronson will deliver auction item solicitation form packets at this week's meeting. Many thanks to John Hudnall and Brad Felix who worked with Jim to assemble the packets late into the frosty Monday Evening! As we will discuss, additional help will be needed in this year's Auction, slated for Saturday March 28th at the Berkshire Hills Country Club. As we enter 2026, our goal is to gather as early as possible, as much as possible! The help requested is centered around this effort, to include soliciting items we traditionally receive and scouring your contact lists for new and additional items. Experiential items are especially sought after. We have lost two key members of the Club and auction committee in the last year, we will need your help in obtaining the items that were on the lists of those members. The auction efforts and planning will move to overdrive after the first of the year. We plan to have a committee meeting in early-mid January to update members and continue the planning work.
