Community Missions will hold its annual antiques and fine arts auction on the afternoon of Sunday, Nov. 11, at the First Presbyterian Church in Youngstown. Admission is $10 per person and $15 per couple, with all proceeds benefitting Crisis Services and Mark's Place (HIV/AIDS residence) at Community Missions.
More than 200 items will be auctioned at the event. Auction items include a Thai bronzeware service for 12, many pieces of fine art, sports memorabilia, and hundreds of other items. Doors will open at 12:15 p.m. for a viewing of items and a sampling of heavy hors d'oeuvres. The auction will commence at 1 p.m.
The event will also feature a flea market. This will include a designer purse table with brand names including Coach, Liz Claiborne, Gucci, Guess, Louis Vuitton, etc., selling at $5 each. Flea items will sell at prices ranging from $2 to $5. A jewelry table will feature antique as well as contemporary pieces.
The event will also serve as a retirement party for longtime Community Missions Director of Public Relations and Development Don Luce. He joined the agency in 1998, and will celebrate 20 years of service at this year's auction.
