Testimonials
We can’t thank you and Sherri enough for donating your time and expertise to Friday night’s event. It was a great event and very well received by the entire community. I also heard several people comment about how great our auctioneers were and I made sure that they got your name/contact info as well. Plus, whenever we are hosting tournaments here, there are times when we get asked about possible auctioneers and we will for sure pass along your information to them. We were so impressed and know that y’all can do so much more if you have more time to plan.
Anyway, the total that we have now is $40,000. We are in the process of turning that cash into Visa/Mastercard Gift cards so that we can donate them directly to the victims who have lost everything.
Thank you again for your help and support! Y’all were wonderful to work with.
If I can ever do anything for y’all, please do not hesitate to ask!Dana Meserole DeLorenzo

Wow - thank you so much for your contribution to our CSEC/SECC 8th Annual Auction!
It was a total success - incredible - we were missing 8 individuals due to unexpected travel.
Fewer participants and more contributions towards SECC. I am certain due primarily to your incredible Auctioneer skills and talents.Elizabeth
We had a great turn-out at the event and everyone had a great time! I think the live auction was a huge success and people all loved the Heads or Tails game! Thank you for helping to make this year's event a wonderful success! We look forward to topping that next year!

Well, It looks like you two definatley made a big difference for our fundraiser. The Live total is $62,500 and Paddles Up was $70,000. Wow, considering they thought that they might not do Paddles Up that is wonderful. Everyone has commented on how "Great the Auctioneers were" this year.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your hard work on the event. Please let me know if you need anything from me. It was such a pleasure to get to know both of you.Leslie Timmerman

I want to thank you for your excellent professional service in directing our art and wine auction this summer.
You promise a lot….and deliver more!
Your unselfish advice prior to having a signed contract impressed me most. From the time we began until we finished you were by our side.
The result was that we achieved two and a half times our goal in this fund raiser.
Please feel to use my name as a satisfied client.
