A silent auction will be held throughout the evening featuring items, services and gift certificates donated by local businesses, artisans, Rotarians and other community members.  A lively live auction with selected items and a drawing of raffle tickets for large gift baskets will also be held.  You can check out some of the items that will be available at AndrewLaddScholarship.weebly.com.
