The Service Auction is the largest fund-raising event for Northwoods Unitarian Universalist Church.
But just as importantly, it is a FUN-raiser, helping to bring Northwoods people together all year long.
When you sign up for dinners, parties, classes, hikes, or contests, you get to know others in small groups and informal settings.
Service Auction events are the SECRET SAUCE of friendships at Northwoods!
The 2024 Service Auction event was a success, and it’s not over!
There will be opportunities to participate in open sign up events all year long. Keep an eye out! Every time you join a Sign Up event, our net income increases – have fun, support Northwoods, and most importantly, spend time with like-minded friends!
