Local experts are donating their time, and you will have the chance to bid on their services to take advantage of their expertise. What is up for auction? The services of 32 local experts are on the auction block. Everything from traditional services - financial, home, vehicle, and spa services – to experiences – like dinner with a boat chauffeur or yoga and dance lessons.
