WYSO Silent Auction - Save this date

Saturday, Feb. 11

Public radio station WYSO 91.3FM will hold its annual silent auction at the newly completed Hollenbeck Bayley Creative Arts and Conference Center in Springfield on February 11, 2012. The event will feature a wine tasting, heavy hors d'oeuvres from Current Cuisine and a cheese tasting from Young's Jersey Dairy.

"We're very excited to hold one of our largest fundraising events in Springfield and expand our partnerships in the Clark County community," says WYSO Business Manager Jacki Mayer. "We're eager for WYSO listeners from across the Miami Valley to join us at the Hollenbeck Bayley Center."

The silent auction will have unique items and experiences that highlight the best of what local businesses and organizations have to offer including original artwork, gift certificates to local restaurants and spas, tickets to area performances and more. In addition, a live auction will highlight larger, even more one-of-a-kind items.

"In the past our live auction items have included a ride in a restored WWII airplane, a private glass-blowing class at Jim Kale's studios in Dayton and a five course family-style Italian dinner from Chef Wiley of the Meadowlark Restaurant," says Mayer.

WYSO is seeking donations for the silent and live auction now through January 27, 2012.

Discounted pre-sale tickets for the event will go on sale on November 1st at www.wyso.org. All proceeds will benefit WYSO.
