Bidding for the Silent Auction will open on March 10th.  These items will be on display at the Gala, and you can bid on the items from your smartphone, using the same method as the Online Auction.  There will be no need to write your name and bid amount on paper bid sheets; this year Silent Auction bidding will be done electronically.  Be sure to bring your phones fully charged!

The Silent Auction also includes two "Buy A Spot" parties - a breakfast and makeover Neiman Marcus for 10, and a luncheon at Congressional Country Club for 20.  Once the Silent Auction opens on March 10th, you can buy a spot at a set price to attend these parties.  The spots are available on a first come first-come first-serve basis, and once all of the spots have been sold, the item will be closed.
