Our 2019 Al Kretschmer Memorial/GLSF Charity Auction will be held March 23rd, at the New Berlin Ale House. It is our 41st Annual! Hopefully you will be there!
The doors will open at 9:00 with the auction starting at 10:00. Admission is $5 ($2 goes directly to Hunt of a Lifetime!). Hunt of a Lifetime is a new partner this year, but not the only new item! Check out the link to the Auction Flier and look it over. Better yet, print a few copies and share them with your friends and acquaintances. We need many people to make this event a huge success. If you’re a member, we also need almost everyone to volunteer for this event so we can run it properly to make it a success as well!
