The Ladies Auxiliary to the Oak Harbor Veterans of Foreign Wars invites the community to its 13th Annual Fundraising Auction beginning at 5 p.m.  Saturday, Nov. 17.

A live auction, featuring unique and valuable items, offers those attending a chance to not only begin (or maybe even finish) their holiday shopping, but to support the Auxiliary’s veterans assistance and community service programs.

“This is our main fundraiser of the year,” said Ladies Auxiliary president Shari Vogleman. “Proceeds help fund our cancer program and our scholarships.”

Anyone wishing to donate new or gently used items should drop them off at the VFW Post at 3037 N. Goldie Road by Nov. 6, labeled “Attention: Ladies Auxiliary Auction.” All donations are tax deductible.

The event is open to the public. Tickets will be sold at the door and cost $8 per person or $15 per couple. The evening will include wine, beer and hors’doeuvres, which will be served during the silent auction portion of the event.

For information, call 360-720-9415.
