To enhance your silent auction experience, NEF has added an online bidding platform.   You will now be able to bid from anywhere during the event, yes even your easy chair, with notifications keeping you updated on bids.  Don’t worry all Items will still be available to view at the auction and the Live auction will still take place.  

This new platform allows items to be previewed in advance of the event. Due to this new feature we will require that all donated items that are shipped be received by February 3rd and donations brought to METALfab have the completed donation form, description and a picture sent in no later than February 21. All proceeds support the mission of NEF and its programs.
