Salem Brunch and Auction

It's that time of year again for our annual Brunch and Auction, which will follow our monthly brunch prepared by our renowned chef’s Gene and Steve. 

The auction is typically a lot of fun, and we raise funds at the same time for the church.  If you have never attended one of these auctions now is the time to do so.  You won’t regret it if you do.

All you have to do is purchase a gift that is at least $25 or more in value.  Wrap it as pretty or goofy as you can.  The point being is that you and others will be bidding on the package, not the contents.  It is comical when someone wins the prize and/or package they had bid on and we get to find out what is beneath the colorful and festive wrappings.  Sometimes it is fitting for the winner, and other times it is not.

The more gifts we receive to auction off, the more money we are able to raise. However, it is not necessary to bring a gift; you can just stay and attempt to win something.
