Veteran's Voices - A free, ongoing writing workshop for veterans with special outreach to those vets struggling with PTSD.

Gallery at the Fausel House - Promoting the work of local artists with a rotating exhibition schedule, book readings and artist talks, receptions and other community events.

Give a little and get a lot in return

If you're the highest bidder, you'll not only receive a terrific item, but you'll also know that you've helped support these important programs.

In addition, we'll be holding a live Apassionato event October 3, 2015 at the Cold Springs Golf Club.  We hope to see you there!

Please note that the online auction will close the day before the Apassionato event, so make sure you get your bids in!  These items will be awarded October 2, to the highest bidder and will not be available at the live event.
