Key information for Sale Day

We are proud to have offered for sale some remarkable pieces at the Rotary Auction & Rummage Sale in past years.
Whether a painting by a European master, a classic Asian antiquity or a fun, retro sculpture, knowledgeable volunteers are assisted by professional appraisers to price items to be a value to the buyer.
Art appreciators with any budget are sure to find a treasure.
About a thousand items are priced first-come-first-served, with about 25 of the most sought-after pieces put on silent auction. Silent auction bidding closes at 15 minute intervals between 9:30 and 11:30 am.

To volunteer with this amazing team:

Please complete this online registration form and indicate your preferred slot in the Special Skills and Expertise text box.
After you’ve registered, please come to the volunteer open house on June 5th and talk with a department manager. If that’s not convenient, stop on by from June 30th through July 7th and we will find something for you.
