The guild members donated 26 items to the Safe Passages silent auction in conjunction with the Mendocino Coast Furnituremakers at the Odd Fellows Hall in Mendocino. Buy Now prices and minimum bids were added to the items. Next year, members should add their own minimum bid and buy now prices. Since some items may need to be shipped, the Guild voted to pay for the shipping costs so that all funds generated by the auction will go to Safe Passage.
