2nd ANNUAL GARY ACQUISTIPACE MEMORIAL FUNDRAISING AUCTION

The December meeting will be focused around the holidays. We will be sharing desserts with a dessert potluck and celebrating the season of giving by participating in the auction of high-quality, donated items such as gifts, collectibles, events/sports, and social/food gift cards and items. Current list of items can be found https://mikewagner3.wixsite.com/2023auction. All members are encouraged to participate and bring guests. There will also be an attendance drawing for a numismatic book.

DONATIONS NEEDED FOR ANNUAL AUCTION


The Second Annual Gary L Acquistipace Memorial Fundraising Auction for the Cupertino Coin Club will be held at our December meeting.  Last year’s auction was successful and helped with fundraising to cover the costs of running the club meetings, including things like club dinner nights, prizes, snacks, etc.  The success of the club is dependent on all of its members being active participants.  This event will help keep the club’s finances healthy for the coming year.
Everyone is encouraged to donate an item to the club for the auction.  I’d like to issue a personal challenge to each of you to think of something to contribute to the auction.  This is a chance for you to give back to the hobby and help the club continue to grow.
To submit items, send email to Mike Wagner at mikejwagner@outlook.com with pictures, description, and estimated value.  View the current list of auction items at https://mikewagner3.wixsite.com/2023auction.
Some suggestions of donation items are listed below.  There are lots of things that are easy to donate, and please e-mail if you have a question about whether your item would make a good donation.
