Helpful Tips for everyone!
What's different this year? So much is different!
Our silent auction and raffle is all online. Dinner tickets must be purchased in advance; meals will be picked up at UUSS on the day of the live auction for you to enjoy at home. The online silent Auction bidding begins February 28th. We will join together via Zoom to dine and bid on live auction items from 6:00 to 7:15 on March 13.
How will I find out what I won? It will take a few days to input all the winning information. Look for an email from GiveSmart on Monday, March 15 with instructions on how to pay and find your winning items. Thanks for your patience!
REGISTERING and LOGGING IN
Can I use my old login from last year?
Sorry, no. That login will not work with the new system. However, if you were a donor last year and are looking to review the text and images you used to sell your item(s), please feel free to review last year's auction items at www.uuss.org/auction.

If I am not purchasing dinner, do I have to register? Yes, there is no cost to register for just the auction bidding. However, you will need to create a log-in password, provide contact information including your cell phone and email in order to be notified of your bidding status. In addition, you will need to provide your credit card information. Adding your credit card information when you register is easier than doing it when the bidding starts. To register go to www.uuss/org/auction.
How will dinner pick up work? Between the hours of 3-5pm on Saturday, March 13 you will drive up to the kitchen on the back side of UUSS; remain in your car and someone will take your name and return with your dinner(s). Reheating instructions will be provided.
What is the cost of the dinner? Dinner tickets are $20 per person..
What if I am not able to come to church to pick up my dinner? If you are unable to pick up your dinner we will arrange for someone to deliver to your home (assuming you are within 7 miles of UUSS). Please let Tiki or Marion know no later than March 6 if you will need delivery (see contact info below).
Can I ask for substitutions or modifications to the dinner? If you have special requests, please contact Tiki or Marion and we will accommodate your needs, if possible.
If ordering more than one meal can we choose a different meal option? Yes, each person ordering dinner may choose any of the meal options. On the "Buy Tickets" page you will have the option to select an entree for each ticket purchased.
Are there meal options for young children? There is no menu specifically for children.
How do I order a bottle of wine with my dinner? You can request a bottle of red or white wine with your dinner when you pick up your meal(s) from UUSS on Saturday, March 13, 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm. We are asking for a donation of $20 per bottle, which can be paid in cash or we can add to your auction account. Available only while supplies last.
