14 March Quarter Mania: at Senior Center 4H on Spring Valley Rd: 1107 S. Spring Valley Rd in Junction City; starting at 7pm; doors
open at 6:30pm. What is Quarter Mania you ask? TLC has brought together many Home Based Businesses in one spot! These Businesses
will bring to you items for auction all for one or a two quarter bid. How this works is you will be greeted as you enter the building, there
you can purchase an auction paddle $5 for the first or $10 for 4 and then $3 for any additional paddle or paddles after that. Once inside
help yourself to the food and shop until the auction starts. Once the auction starts find a seat. A consultant for the product being sold will
come up front and talk a little about the item they have up for auction. At that point you are told if it’s a 1 quarter bid or more, and that’s
when you can bid on it. If you are told it’s a 1 quarter bid then you may bid 1 quarter per paddle you have purchased. So 4 paddles you
can bid up to 4 quarters on that item. Hold the paddles you are bidding with high in the air. Then a number that corresponds to the
paddles will be drawn and the paddle that matches the drawn number is the winner of that auction item. We will go around the room
once stopping at each consultant and auctioning off their item. Once all the way around the room we will take a short break. To refill
plates, shop, or use the restroom. After break we do it all again. Oh! Did I mention door prizes! This is a lot of fun for everyone, so break
open the piggy bank grab some friends and get down to the Senior Center to enjoy an evening in Junction City. An evening out with
friends, winning prizes, and all for under $20 the whole night! WOW
