Fund Raising Auction
Every November, The North Carolina Shell Club holds a fund raising auction. Anything including shells to shell-related art work, and ocean theme lots have auctioned in past years. Club members and friends of the club donate shells and items. In recent years entire shell collections have been donated to help support the club.
Funds raised at the auction are important to the continued operation of the annual shell show, arguably the most important event sponsored by the shell club each year. Travel, lodging and meals for guest judges, awards, facility fees, and table rentals are important costs of operating the show the club pays for. Without the auction the shell show would quickly become a thing of the past.
The auction is light and friendly. Member John Timmerman and his wife Nancy, along with Doug Wolfe are the auctioneers.
A silent auction runs concurrently to the live auction.
Not only is it a great opportunity to support the shell show but a great opportunity to add new shells and/or related treasures to one's collection.
