The annual UU Auction  is not only one of the most fun events of the year, it is also a major source of funds for our church operating budget. Your attendance and donations are eagerly welcomed! 

Please click on the links above to download the reservation and donation forms. (Forms can also be found on the auction table in the church lobby.) Completed forms can be sent to the church c/o  the Auction Committee, PO Box 217, Harvard, MA 01451 OR they can be delivered to the church any Sunday through March 6.

Fill in one form for each Item/Event/Service that you will donate. Providing a Service is a really nice way to "make community" and contribute to others in the congregation. Parties and Vacation homes are also very popular donations.

Donation forms are due by March 5 in order for us to send out the auction catalog ahead of time. 

This year's theme is Global Delight! As in past years, we'll be hosting a potluck dinner, so dust off those international recipes. If you need help with ideas, let us know. Salad, bread, and dessert will be provided by the auction committee.

If you are willing to give a hand with any of the pre-auction events or during the night of the auction, please let us know on the Reservation Form!

We look forward to seeing you on March 24th!
