Batavia, Ohio. How much would you pay for a football signed by Cincinnati Bengals’ popular linebacker Rey Maualuga? That is just one of the many incredible items available at the 16th annual Clermont County Humane Society Dinner and Auction. The auction that benefits homeless animals in the county will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2009 at the Noryln Manor in Batavia. “The doors open and the silent auction begins at 5 p.m.; dinner is at 6:30 and the live auction is at 8,” said Nadora Hill with the Clermont County Humane Society.
Other items available at the auction include a four day/three night vacation in a beautiful vacation home on Norris Lake in Tennessee. “This package includes accommodations, all meals, unlimited golf, and unlimited use of a boat and jet skis,” said Hill. “The auction has something for everyone from Christmas items, pet products, jewelry, signed sports memorabilia, restaurant gift certificates, raffle baskets, split-the-pot, artwork by Imogene Farnsworth, and a Wii system with games.”
Proceeds from the auction are utilized to help operate the adoption center at the shelter. In the past five years, the Clermont County Animal Shelter has provided almost 25,000 animals with shelter care; 5,000 of those animals were adopted into loving homes, and 1,600 of the animals were reunited with their families.
Reservations for the 16th annual Clermont County Humane Society Dinner Auction can be made online at www.ClermontCountyAnimalShelter.com or call (513) 732-8854.
