CoMA's Conference Auction
AUCTION RUNS FROM 10am-5pm Sunday, JULY 16, 2023
It's that time of year again when CoMA would like your donated jewelry/tools/gems/books/etc. for the Conference auction. This auction is one of the reasons that this and future Conferences are still affordable! Your cast away or unwanted items are solid gold to the organization and YOU get the tax write off! It's a win-win! Anyone can donate to our Auction. You do not have to be a member. We invite all our non-member supporters who value our organization and perhaps participate in our Facebook Groups to donate. We would truly appreciate it!
​
​
Please include your completed Auction form (download below)
when you drop off your item in person at the conference
July 15th. Extra forms will be available.
We will update the form and site with information for folks who want to donate
but will not attend the conference. There will be a location in Ft. Collins to
mail or send items to be received by July 14, 2023. Come back soon!
