HADDAM – As the March 19 kickoff date approaches, Brainerd Memorial Library’s virtual fundraising auction continues to attract attention – and new items.
One of the latest is a $55 gift certificate toward dog grooming from one of Haddam’s newest businesses, Wonder Paws.
Gemmina Gorski, owner of Wonder Paws, and a donor to the library auction, shows off a satisfied customer.
The 10-day-long nonprofit event will raise funds for adult and children’s programs at the library, which is undergoing a physical renovation during Covid.
Bidders will be able to track the status of each item. During the bidding period there will be opportunities to view items at Haddam Elementary School.
Items that have been donated for the auction include jewelry, wine, furniture, getaways, antiques, gift cards for goods and services and gift baskets, to name only a few
Starting March 19, visitors can log onto https://www.biddingowl.com/BrainerdMemorialLibrary and register as a bidder in the top right corner. Once registered and equipped with a password, bidders can visit the page anytime during the auction and opt in for text or email notifications to find out if they have been outbid … or won!
