Both are registered, nonprofit charitable organiza- tions. Tice auction, organised by Women's Showcase, is the kick off to a weekend conference introduced to London in 1917, to help women in busbies meet other women. Last year, with 14 choice "Picea)" on the auction block, the organizers raised approximately $7,000. That's an average of $437.50 per piece., This year they are hoping to have 20 of- ferings on the block and no doubt in - creme the amount raised.

"If they're , ((table with be- ing auctioned off, that has to be their decision But...it doesn't peen respectful of the men being auctioned off or of the women bidding on their time." I wonder if there is a Status of Male Action Grow or equivalent, that will be up in arms over this auction? Vail says that most people see it as fun and organizers try not to embarrass the men. Visions of auctions are. dancing through my head! What do you think the town. fathers and mother would think of using, this idea as .a Money raising proposition for the village? Heck we could put the money towards the sewer project or even buy a new grader! All joking aside, if these men are will- ing to participate and strut their stuff in •front of a room full of women, all in the • name of charity, so be itl. Happy bidding ladies! • • . • To Shauna Aodrew, Sandra Blackwell, Amy:Blake, Sorel' Brophy.
