This is our very first virtual event, so this means anyone from around the globe can participate. All purchased art is framed and will be shipped to the home address, FREE within the U.S.!
In addition, we encourage folks to support local businesses by pre-ordering their custom Valentine Date Basket by February 5th for only $50. Each basket will include: A personalized Valentine, Wine or Bubbles; Chocolates & Cheeses all sourced & delivered locally by February 12. Just in time to enjoy it along with the live simulcast Virtual Art Auction that will start promptly at 8 PM EST!
Due to Covid-19, our Rotary Club of Franklin MA has struggled to provide our annual awards and community service projects. This event will support the our Rotary Club scholarship and leadership awards, as well as, the many service projects for the elderly and underserved in our area planned for 2021.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly and I thank you in advance for your support!
