‘Tis the season for a very merry gala and auction at St. George’s

Church! Santa’s sack can’t contain all the merriment and marvelous gifts

waiting for early-bird revelers on Nov. 20 when St. George’s Church,

Maplewood, unfolds its celebrated Holiday Gala and Auction.

This year guests will sip, shop, and bid on what Gala Chair Ciara McElroy

calls “a trove of remarkable collectibles, antiques, treasures, and ‘Great

Adventures.’ “

“The Holiday Gala is the place to find one-of-a-kind items like the antique

clock from the l890s that will be one of the highlights of our auction,” Ciara

points out. “Great Adventures” are also up for bidding, including week

long getaways to vacation homes in Maine, Florida, Cape Cod, and New

Jersey’s Seaside Heights. Cooking and fitness classes, a private tour of the

Met, a walking tour in NYC, tickets to “Clue” at the Papermill Playhouse,

portraits by a professional photographer, restaurant gift cards… “And

more, much more” will be featured at the auction, she reports.

Bidding on auction items opens on-line Nov.13 and will continue through

the evening of the live Gala on Nov. 20. Local Chef Roscoe Coleman is

catering the food for the festivities, which will feature a bar and live music.

In-person attendees can also make tasty purchases from a “Holiday Cake

Plate” and bid on a few live-only items.
