The 2011 WLNH Children’s Auction, scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 6 through Saturday, Dec. 10, needs more than 2,000 items this year to meet its fundraising goal. As a long-time supporter of the Children’s Auction, we are collecting donated auction items at several MVSB branches.
If you have items you would like to donate to the Children’s Auction, please bring them to selected MVSB locations during business hours prior to December 9. Be sure to leave a completed Children’s Auction Donation Form with your donation (ask a MVSB teller or CSR for a form if you need one). Beginning December 9, please bring all item donations to Lake Opechee Inn & Conference Center, 62 Doris Ray Court, Lakeport, NH.
