We give of our time. We give of our friendship. We give of our hearts. We give of our prayers. We give of our hard earned money. We give of our belief in our Jewish community and a better world today and in the future. What we receive in return for all this giving is a deep sense of purpose and lives more meaningfully lived. The auction is a community celebration, a party, and an important fundraiser for NVHC operations. Please be generous and absolutely have a wonderful time! I want to thank the auction committee for its hard work and dedication. I also thank everyone who has donated, purchased advertising, underwritten the expenses of the auction, or purchased a raffle ticket. All of these are integral to the success of the auction and the well-being of our community. Sincerely, David Selden President, NVHC Board of Trustees 1 NORTHERN VIRGINIA HEBREW CONGREGATION SILENT AND LIVE AUCTION RULES 1 All sales are final. No exchanges or refunds are permitted.

We have been blessed to work with these incredible volunteers who each worked amazingly hard to make the NVHC 9th annual Silent and Live Auction a great success. Although there are always contributors who do more or less, every action by these marvelous volunteers was significant to create a memorable evening growing the fruits of community, and we needed every one of you. On a personal note, for us, the best part of being a team member with this group was getting to know you, creating new friendships, bonds and learning so much about our remarkable community. Thank you so much for being a part of this adventure and responding to the need to work together to achieve this special event.
