Never been to the Brown Bag Auction?
It works like this:
We ask that you put something in a bag of some sort. The item can be nautical or not. You can re-gift a present you can’t use, recycle a boating accessory you no longer need, or just fill it with something neat or tasty.
Staple or tape your bag shut (it can also be a box) and indicate on the outside an estimated value and a clue as to what’s inside. (Don’t tell us what it actually is!). Then let the bidding begin.
Our high-powered salesmen will auction off each bag to the highest bidder. The bidding can get fierce—even though no one knows what they’re bidding on– so bring lots of cash. You might go home with a lamp, wine, glasses –or next year’s brown bag item! Proceeds from the auction benefit the club.
