W: Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the 21st annual Stern School Silent Auction and Dinner. We hope you are enjoying the evening so far. Seating for dinner will begin in thirty minutes, so you still have plenty of time to make bids on all the fine items we have up for auction. If you just came in and don"t know how to bid, please register at the table to my right and receive the auction catalog. After that, all you need to do is browse the auction items. When you see something you like, write down your name and your bid amount on the bid sheet in front of the item.
