What The Auction Chair had to say.

---April Brown is a joy to work with. She's been our charity auctioneer for more than 15 years and we look forward to working with her year after year. She is a great performer and so easy to work with. Each year she helps us come up with something new for raising more money. Christ the King

----Our charity auction had been limping along for more than 10 years and we were so disappointed in the charity auctioneers we hired that we changed nearly every year. I'm so glad we changed one more time and hired Seattle Auctioneer, April Brown. April proved her expertise instantly. She's been with us five years and our proceeds have grown right along with our friendship.

----Our benefit auction would have been a disaster if it wasn’t for April Brown and her Charity Auction World Team. We had trouble getting into the venue on time and we were running late getting setup on auction day.  April and her team pitched in folding tent cards, distributing menus and making sure everything was ready when the doors open up. We could not have pulled this off without them.

----The best fundraising decision I ever made was hiring April Brown and Charity Auction World for our annual benefit auction gala. It was a bit more expensive than the auctioneers we’ve used, but the financial result was over the top! This was the first time we have ever worked with a team of professionals that included a master of ceremonies and a catalog reader. They enticed our audience to spend $25,000 more than last year! WOW! It was a record night!

----For years we hired an auctioneer who showed up on auction night and usually did an okay job. This year we hired April Brown of Charity Auction World. April nailed it! We made nearly twice as much money.

---- April Brown is the best auctioneer. She made more money for us than we could have possibly imagined!! Even the board members who wanted the TV personality were blown away. We far exceeded our auction goals where it counts, in the bottom line. And they were a blast to work with!

    We won an auction for a week in Bali and spent Christmas week 2013 there.  I just wanted to let you know that our stay was beyond wonderful.  In fact our week in Amed was the best part of our trip.  The people who worked at Golden Buddha and Pazzo were amazing.  The special dinner was our best in Bali.  The food was incredibly delicious and all the work that went into decorating was awesome.  Our daughter Jai enjoyed helping make some of the decorations.   We so enjoyed the dancing as well.  We didn’t want to leave and it has been a bit hard to adjust back to our life in Alaska!!  It was one of our best vacations ever. 
     
    My husband left his guitar as a gift to Wiz, Gaday and Eddie.  He, however, meant to leave the tuner, but forgot.  I was wondering if you could tell us if there is a way to send the tuner to them and make sure it arrives?  I’m sure you know of the best way if there is one.
     
    Thanks for your help and again your place is beautiful and we hope to go back one day.
