When will auction catalogs be available?

Thank you to the following sponsors of our 2009 Auction:
Who benefits from the funds raised at the auction?
The auction proceeds fund scholarships for returning and non-traditional Linn-Benton Community College and Oregon State University students. With the dollars raised at last year’s auction, we awarded 11 $2400 scholarships. Some of these scholarship students are single parents; some were not able to get an advanced education; but all are now on their way to getting a degree in a field that will help women and children in our community, our state, our country, and even internationally.
Zonta also uses proceeds from the auction to award grants to community organizations. Last year we gave out more than $17,800 in grants to local agencies, including the Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence; Parent Enhancement Program; Boys and Girls Club of Corvallis; Grace Center for Adult Services; Old Mill Center for Children; Community Outreach; and the OSU Women’s Center.
Finally, our auction helps support international projects that benefit women. This year, we’re helping to improve the lives of women in Rwanda, Liberia, El Salvador and Guatemala.
