A bucket will be placed at the center of each table, and a gong will be placed on the stage. The items up for auction will be priced at 25 cents, 50 cents, or 75 cents.

You may just have to see it to believe it, but you’ll have a great time! We’ll have a wide variety of items up for auction.

Why many people with living trusts will end up in probate. Learn how to avoid it. If you have your plans finalized, find out what may have changed, needs updating, or is still applicable in Arizona. Guests will have an opportunity for questions after the seminar with Attorney Richard M. Dwornik. Presented by Dwornik Law Firm. Must RSVP to reserve your seat. Limited seating.
