Some Auction Items Need Planning!

Someone once described going to an auction as a chance to buy something that you don't need, but absolutely must have. And it is true--a whole bunch of auction purchasing is done on a whim. We like that!

But some items really do need some planning by perspective buyers.

For example, there are several items that are suited to getting a group together-

#62 San Jose Giants 2008 tickets for 10
#78 & 91 Half Moon Bay Golf Foursome
#112 Burke's Canoe Trip on Russian River for 4 adults and 4 kids

Details here.

#96 West Shore Lake Tahoe Cabin Weekend--sleeps 10
#110 Luxury North Lake Tahoe Vacation Home Weekend--sleeps 30
#169 Olive Harvest Getaway to Wine Country for 6

Details here.

#31 Kid's Clinic with Stanford Coaches and Players for 12

Details here.

#115 Dinner and Piano Concert with Tara for 6

Details here.

#40 Byington Winery Tour and Tasting for 30
#63 Savannah Chanelle Winery Tour and Tasting for 15

So why not talk to your pals and see about bidding together on one or more of these items.

Don't worry--we still have all of those other items that you MUST HAVE! Jerseys, wines, restaurant certificates, sports memorobilia, etc, etc etc. But just wanted to make sure you have a chance to think a little so you can bid HIGH and bid OFTEN on December 16!

Auction doors in the Arrillaga Family Center (next to Maples) will be open from 1 pm until 2 pm for pregame bidding and again after the conclusion of the game. Hope to see you there!
