Attention, all TheaterCNUers!



Alpha Psi Omega is holding a SILENT AUCTION for a piece of artwork (beautifully crafted by Miss Lindsay Billmeyer). You may remember this piece from our President Matt McCubbin’s Homecoming float, or you may have seen it at the APO table at the Comic Potential performances. If not, I’ll fill you in: It’s a CoPo production poster mounted on black foam board, decorated with “BoRo’s CoPo” inscribed around the poster. The item will be displayed in the Theater Library for your viewing pleasure. If you were involved with Comic Potential in any way, it would be a great souvenir, or even if you weren’t involved, it would be a great gift for someone who was!

How’s a silent auction work? Well, there will be a sheet posted on the APO board until the end of the week on which you will place your bid. Starting at $5.00, bids must be placed in 50-cent increments, i.e. the lowest possible bid is $5.00, and the next would be a minimum of $5.50, and so on. You may bid as many times as you would like. The highest bid recorded at 5PM on Friday, December 3 will win and that bidder will take home the goods. Bidding is open to EVERYONE!

So go to the Theater Library to check out the masterpiece and then run over to the APO board to place your bid! Remember, you only have until Friday at 5PM. And don’t forget to check back after placing your bid because someone might outbid you!

Good luck with the last week of classes, and HAPPY BIDDING!
