H2Oh! Making Waves 2016 Auction Items
The National Museum of the Great Lakes is pleased to host our annual fundraiser H2Oh! Making Waves. Part of this event will include a live auction. We understand that many people cannot attend the event, but might be interested in some of the items available. This year we are offering the opportunity for you to call in and register a maximum bid with our staff. We will then bid for you during the auction. If the winning bid is lower than your maximum bid, you will only pay the lower price. Please call us at 419-214-5000 x 200 by Friday, October 14 at 5:00 pm to register your name, the item you wish to bid on, your maximum bid, and a form of payment. (Please note you will be responsible for arranging delivery of the item).
