“Your adornment should not be an external one: braiding the hair, wearing gold jewelry, or dressing in fine clothes, but rather the hidden character of the heart, expressed in the imperishable beauty of a gentle and calm disposition, which is precious in the sight of God.�

-1 Peter 3:3-4

The Dominican Sisters of Peace, sponsors of Our Lady of the Elms Schools, rejoice in all that you are and all that you do.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SILENT AUCTION CLOSE The Silent Auction closes when the Auctioneer circles the item and the bidder number. Closing begins 15 minutes after the oral auction has ended. Bidding may continue until the auctioneer arrives to close the item. If more than one person is bidding when the auctioneer arrives, he will conduct a mini oral auction until one of the bidders out bids the other. Once the auctioneer circles the highest bidder number, that item is closed for any further bids.

Gift Certificate Pick Up ONLY

Gift certificate pick up will be available at the registration tables at the end of the event. Take the pink bid sheet associated with the gift certificate along with your bid card with pre-paid sticker or receipt of payment to the table. The volunteer will ask you to sign the pink sheet indicating your received your certificate.

If two or more bidders want an item, the auctioneer will hold a mini oral auction. Once all bidders are satisfied with their bids, the auctioneer will award the winner of the item to the bidder with the highest bid.
