Yes, government regulations can be as challenging as the environment itself. The same goes for many other areas where keeping on top of ever-changing regulations is impossible for the lay person. That’s why the attorneys in all our practice areas assist private and public clients to resolve matters before local, state, regional and federal governments.

1. Upon entry, each guest will receive a bid number. To bid in the silent auction, please write this number on the bid sheet next to the amount you wish to bid. Use only the bid number assigned to you. Upon closing of the bid sheets, the highest bidder is deemed the winning bidder.2. A bid is a legal contract to purchase an item.3. Sections of the Silent Auction will be closed at designated times and no bids may be entered after the announced closing of a section.4. Invoices will be available and bidders should make payment by Cash, Check, MasterCard, AMEX or Visa to the cashier. Express participants will pick up their invoices and proceed directly to Pick-Up to retrieve their items. 5. All sales are final. There will be no exchanges or refunds.6.

Tax Deductible Information

On January 1, 1994, important changes were made in the Federal Tax Code that affect the amount deducted by buyers at benefit auctions. Fair market values are shown on all bid sheets based on the donor’s or Auction Committee’s best estimate. All auction purchases are tax deductible only to the extent that the amount paid exceeds the stated fair market value. Each buyer will receive an invoice listing the fair market value, their purchase price and their “potential” tax deduction. In all cases, the buyer should rely on their tax advisor for additional information.
