AUCTION PROCESS

STEP ONE: Get a BIDDER NUMBER

In order to get started bidding, you need a bidder number. Phone lines will open at 5:00 pm to register participants for their bidder numbers. You will be able to register for a bidder number once the auction begins at 6:00 pm. PLEASE BE ADVISED that obtaining a bidder number once the auction begins will slow down your ability to get that first bid on the board. Call (918) 444-2380 to get your number.

STEP THREE: BID! BID! BID!

Call (918) 444-2380 to place your bids. The Rotarian on the phone will need the following information as quickly and clearly as possible:

   BIDDER NUMBER

   ITEM NUMBER

   BID AMOUNT

We suggest putting the phone number on speed-dial on your phone. Or remember the re-dial function on your phone. We want to bid as often and as generously as possible. Keep in mind the proceeds from the auction will go right back into the community through grants, scholarships, and special projects. This fundraiser is a major part of the funding needed to be effective in serving the community. We hope you will bid with this in mind!

STEP FOUR: WAIT for the WINNING CALL

If you are the highest bidder on an item, you will receive a call from a Rotarian as soon as possible to arrange for your payment and pick up of the item.

STEP FIVE: PAY and PICK UP

We ask that you pay for and pick up your items on Friday, April 19 at the Century 21 office in Tahlequah.  We will not have the items available until Friday, April 19.  The address is 103 Mimosa Lane, Tahlequah.  They are open from 9:00  a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.   We will hold your items for one week.
