UUYO’s all-church auction theme is Livin’ La Vida “LOCAL” – a play on words that brings to mind keeping your entertainment budget right here in the local UUYO and Youngstown community. Come and bid on great local items and events donated by UUYO members.

Admission is $10 for adults (includes a delicious local-foods dinner). Admission for kids is free, and while the adults are bidding and enjoying dinner, the kids will enjoy their own fun time with pizza and a movie (with advance notice please, so we know how many kids to plan for!)

Watch this space in late May for a link to our auction catalog. A little taste of the items to be offered: a pontoon boat ride, dinners for 8, a barbecue and tractor pull, theatre tickets, group hikes and picnics, gift baskets, past-life regression, massage and more!

Tickets on sale Sundays after church in Channing Hall, or call the UUYO office to reserve yours.
