The silent auction is sponsored by the Program and Arrangements Committee for the Conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea for the silent auction is to enhance the vitality and contribute to the Exhibit Hall with an opportunity to raise some additional funds. Two-thirds of the proceeds of the silent auction will support Brethren Disaster Ministries, with the remaining one-third to offset Annual Conference expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Volunteers are needed to staff the auction, assist with receiving and staging auction items, register bidders, and identify and notify winners.
