Welcome to Unitarian Universalism, a religion that celebrates diversity of belief and is guided by

seven principles. Our congregations are places where we gather to nurture our spirits and put our

faith into action through social justice work in our communities and the wider world.

Newcomers are always welcome. There is no formal conversion process, so becoming a

Unitarian Universalist is simply a matter of self-identification. Membership is voluntary and

does not require renouncing other religious affiliations or practices.

We invite you to explore our website, www.uucsjs.org, visit us on a Sunday for a 10:00 am

service and discover Unitarian Universalism!

There are seven principles which Unitarian Universalist congregations affirm and promote:

The inherent worth and dignity of every person;

Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;

Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;

A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;

The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations

and in society at large;

The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all;

Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

Auction Guidelines

Registration

Upon entering the auction, you will receive your bid number. Use only the bid number assigned to you

for bidding on silent and live auction items.

Silent Auction

The Silent Auction opens at 6:30 for viewing / 7:00 for bidding. The minimum bid and minimum raise for

each item is written on the bid sheet by the item. To be valid, bids must comply with these minimums and

be legible.

To place a bid, sign your name and bid number with your bid amount on the bid sheet. Doing so

constitutes a legal contract to purchase that silent auction item at the price you stated if your bid is the

winning bid. The last (highest) valid bid entered prior to the section closing will be the winning bid.

A maximum guaranteed bid is stated on each bid sheet. By signing your name and bid number in this box,

the bidding closes. The item is yours.

The Auction Committee reserves the right to withdraw any item at any time without notice before the

actual sale. In the event of a dispute, the Auction Committee shall act as final authority in determining the

winning bid.

Live Auction

Live Auction bidding will begin at 8:30pm. When bidding, please hold up your bid number toward the

auctioneer. The Live Auction will continue until all items are sold.

If a group is bidding on one item, please designate one person to place your combined bid. Auction items

will be awarded to one purchaser only.

A bid acknowledged by the auctioneer is a legal contract to purchase the item.

Payment

All items must be paid for by the end of the evening. For your convenience we gladly accept both checks

& cash. A 50% payment will be accepted to hold your more expensive selections. The balance is

expected within 30 days. Please make arrangements for those with either Prim Reeves or Kathleen

Hartnett during checkout.

Pick-Up Once you have paid for your winning items, you will be issued a receipt. Please present this receipt at the

Table from which you purchased each item to claim your winning tangible items. Certificates for services

will be given to you with your receipt.

9 | P a g e

It is the responsibility of the purchaser to locate and remove his/her winning item(s) by the end of the

auction.

Auction Events Cancellation Guidelines

If a guest , after signing up and paying, cannot make an event on the stated date, it is the guest’s loss. The

host is under no obligation to make up the event for that guest.

If the host needs to cancel, for any reason (i.e., illness, inclement weather, etc.), the host will reschedule

the event. If this is not possible, or it is not possible to reschedule it for a time when all guests can attend,

those who cannot attend may request a refund from the UUCSJS Treasurer.

If the event does not have a planned date at the time of the auction, and the host cannot find a date that is

acceptable to everyone, the host should hold the event more than once, or in some way take responsibility

to please all guests.

Terms of Sale

Unless otherwise noted, all certificates for goods and services must be used within one year of the auction

date. All items and services are subject to the terms and conditions specified by the donors.

All sales are final. There will be no exchanges or refunds. UUCSJS does not make any expressed or

implied warranties or guarantees on auction items regarding quality or value of items or services.

UUCSJS has attempted to describe and catalog all items correctly, but all items are offered and sold "AS

IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS."

UUCSJS neither warrants nor represents, and in no event shall be responsible for the correctness of

descriptions, genuineness, authorship, provenance or condition of the items. No statement made in this

catalog or made orally at the auction or elsewhere shall be deemed such a warranty for tax purposes or

market value. Items have not been appraised unless otherwise noted.

Reservations for trips and vacation accommodations must be mutually arranged with the donor unless

otherwise noted. No refunds will be allowed on travel packages for canceled tickets and/or

accommodations.

By the buyer's purchase, the buyer waives any claim for liability against UUCSJS, its elected and

appointed officials, members and employees, sponsors, volunteers connected with the auction, and/or the

donor of the item. Neither the UUCSJS nor the donor is responsible for any personal injuries or damage

that may result from the use of the property or services.

Tax Information

This catalog lists the fair market value of each item. Any amount you pay in excess of the fair market

value would normally be available to you as a charitable contribution for tax purposes. Please check with

your tax advisor for specifics.

Do the “large ticket” items appeal to you? Yes, they are for

real! We are able to offer them thru the auction set-up

software package we used this year. UUCSJS will earn

only $100-$200 if items are purchased at the starting bid

but we thought it was a fun idea and would add excitement

to this year’s auction.

We will pay for the package only after we’ve sold it. If

the package doesn’t sell, we are under no obligation to

purchase it. So go ahead, start planning your vacation now!

If you have questions, direct them to Prim.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT designed two UU churches:

Wright’s Meeting House, home to the First Unitarian Society of Madison, was completed in 1951 and is built of limestone and oak with a massive copper roof. The extensive use of glass throughout the building provides light and gives a sense of unity with nature. The design features the use of triangular forms that can be seen in the overhanging pitched roof and the angular protrusion of the sanctuary’s windows, a formation suggesting a ship’s prow. The uplift in the roof’s design provides a sense of transcendence, eliminating the need for a steeple.

The Unity Temple, Oak Park, Illinois, was dedicated in 1909 and is the “crystallization of UU principles,” says Unity Temple Restoration Foundation executive director Keith Bringe. Three tiers of balconies surrounding the podium can seat up to 300, yet also permit a feeling of intimacy for smaller groups; no seat is more than 45 feet from the podium. Both the interior and exterior of the building are made of poured concrete, a radical innovation at the time. Instead of a steeple, the flat roof has stained glass windows, suggesting that divinity is to be found inside among the people.

Blessings from Nancy and Richard Brail
