NEW SILENT AUCTION GUIDELINES 

The success of the Rally is very much dependent upon our attendees participation in all that we offer during the day.  We ask that if you participate in the Silent Auction that you come with an open heart to serve the health and welfare of our beloved breed, the Scottish Terrier.  We think that these new guidelines might make the Silent Auction a bit more enjoyable for all involved:

• Although auction closing time is posted, a variance may occur based on program schedule.
• A  5 minute warning will be announced and an auction bell will be rung
• At that time bidders are encouraged to commit to your absolute highest bid and step away from the table to allow others to do the same. 
  
• Please enjoy the thrill of helping our furkids and taking home a treasure!
  

DONATING ITEMS FOR THE SILENT AUCTION

If you've been thinking of downsizing your scottie collection PLEASE think of us.  You'll be able to receive tax credit as well as contribute to our mission!   Donation of scottie items are welcome year-round regardless of their size.  Nothing is too small as it can always help our Scottie elves fill those unique baskets that only we offer!  Think of the Rally as you do shopping year-round or receive duplicate gift items!  We'll be grateful that you did!
