RABUN TU ONLINE AUCTION Dates: May 17, 2022 thru May 24, 2022
Spring is upon us and O’Dark Thirty fishing is just around the corner. It’s been an unusual year and live events are starting to “spring” up everywhere. As discussed earlier in the year, the Rabun TU Board of Directors opted for staying safe.
We will be having an ONLINE AUCTION using the same format as seen on the Dream Trip Ticket site and other TU chapter sites around the state and country.
We’re finalizing the site set–up now and will critique the set–up over the next few days before starting live. The site will be available on or before May 9th to allow public viewing of items currently listed. This will run through the May 16th. During that time, we’ll also be adding items if new donations are received. Continue to visit during the early period to view items and see what may have been added! You won’t be able to bid on items until May 17th, when the auction actually goes live. Bidding will end on May 24.
REMEMBER: 2022 RENDEZVOUS “ONLINE AUCTION” GOES LIVE MAY 17TH!!
CAN YOU STILL HELP??
Absolutely! We can always use additional items to make the event as successful as possible.
