The Lopez Children Center is having a new improved auction on Saturday, Aug. 18 at Woodmen Hall. It was formerly known as the Apron auction and now it is called Experience Life.

“We thought many of us have too much stuff in our lives so we are focusing on life experiences with donations from our generous neighbors on Lopez,” say organizers. “We have many talented people who live on Lopez and give to nonprofits to help them survive. We will have a fun fundraiser for our community to support the Lopez Children’s Center.”

All islanders are invited to attend and there is no admission fee. There will be a variety of different items such as fine art and crafts as well as new learning experiences – cooking class, steelhead fishing trip, Mariners tickets, Sounder tickets, golf lessons, cheese making class, art class, overnight stay in a nice hotel, create your own earrings, sailboat cruise and food.  There will also be savory and sweet appetizers available. Come find out what new experiences might be calling you to bid or purchase at the auction to support Lopez Children’s Center.
