The 61st annual Rotary Club of Terrace Auction is now history – and despite the challenges presented by COVID-19, area residents once again showed their generosity – and an eye for bargains.
Preliminary numbers released by the club after the two-day weekend auction show a total of $46,765 was bid on the 400 items donated by area businesses and agencies.
That represents just over 64% of the total retail value of the items.
Residents also donated $2,550 in cash.
The auction was live-streamed on YouTube, and was also available on Zoom – and despite a few technical glitches, Rotary Club spokesperson Brian Downie says the weekend went fairly well, thanks to the help of the many volunteers and the giving spirit of Terrace and area residents.
For the second straight year, COVID restrictions meant that spectators were not allowed in the Terrace Sportsplex to bid from the floor.
The money raised through the auction will be used to support the many community projects funded by Rotary.
The 61st Rotary Club of Terrace TV Auction has started online at www.auction.terracerotary.org. You can see the Items on the website. You can also view the listing of Auction items on the Rotary Club of Terrace Facebook page later this weekend. Pre-bidding starts at 5 PM Friday October 29th.
You will require a Bid # to bid on any item which you can obtain by opening New Buyer Registration page on the Auction home page. If you need a reminder of your last year's Bid number, contact auction@terracerotary.org.
Our live Auction is on Saturday November 6th and Sunday November 7th and this year we will livestream the Auction on YouTube. You can bid online, or phone 778-634-3501. The Auction times are Saturday November 6th 6 to 11 PM and Sunday November 7th 2 to 10 PM.
When we contact successful bidders to confirm your bids, we will ask for payment by debit or credit card, or e-transfer. You will be able to pick up your items outside the Sportsplex at our pick up station.
