Gainesville Office Holds Silent Auction and Garage Sale
In the spirit of sustainability, after moving to a new office location, the Gainesville office held a silent auction and garage sale to sell the surplus of old office furniture left over from the move; all proceeds benefited the Golder Trust for Orphans.
The silent auction was opened for all Gainesville employees to bid on old office furniture from April 21st through April 23rd. All remaining office furniture, as well as employee donations from home, went into a garage sale on April 25th, 2009. Signs were made, baked goods were placed to entice any garage sale customer, and Gainesville employees arrived bright and early Saturday morning to set up. At the end of the day, a total of $800 was raised for the GTO, for both the silent auction and the garage sale. Thanks to Priscilla Grener, our Gainesville Office Champion, and her team for a job well done!
