LWVIL 2011 ONLINE AUCTION  

The LWVIL's 2011 ONLINE AUCTION is beginning right now. Go to our website to see an attractive array of auction items and place your bids.

One group of items is mainly FOR ADULTS and another, mainly FOR FAMILIES. Then there's a separate category we're calling THE ARTS, and finally, a bunch of items that are all about HAVING FUN!

Click on any of the above links and go directly to the web pages described. Bidding begins NOW. The highest bid on each item will be posted at the end of each day, so visit often.

On the "For Adults" page, look for WINE TASTING IN GALENA

  • One night stay midweek (Sun - Thurs) at the DeSoto House Hotel
  • Wine Tasting and Vineyard Tasting for 2 at Galena Cellars and at the Main St. Tasting Room and Gift Shop. (Bidding opens at $110)

"Having Fun!" includes a HAPPY HOUR PARTY for 100 of your best friends:

  • Happy Hour Party at  Howl at the Moon, Chicago, for up to 100 people. Everyone checks in between 5-7 pm on the prearranged Thursday or Friday party night.
  • Free admission plus two $1 drink tickets per person. (Bidding opens at $75)
How would Howl at the Moon work as a local League fundraiser? I hear the big attraction is their high-energy dueling pianos. Sounds like fun!>

Looking for a mini-vacation? Besides Galena (above) there are hotel packages in Bloomington, Northbrook, Schaumburg, Elmhurst, and Chicago. I'm told that the Chicago hotel is the snazziest - the Chicago Park Hyatt on Michigan Avenue - and there's so much else to do in the City! Check it out.
