2. The Live Auction will begin at about 6:45 pm. Simply raise your paddle to bid. Volunteer spotters will help to ensure that your bid is recognized.

Don’t be shy!

3. The Auctioneer reserves the right to pass on an item he feels has not reached a reasonable price. His decision is final and is made in the best interest of the donor and the Academy.

4. All sales are final, and everything is “as is.” No refund or exchange will be allowed except where specified by the donor. Please redeem or use gift certificates and gift cards promptly. All gift certificates must be redeemed within the parameters outlined on the certificate, or within one year of this event.

8. If an item is not paid for and picked up from NYA within 7 business days, it will be offered to the next highest bidder.

At last year’s Soirée, you “raised your paddle” to support NYA’s Kauffmann Program in Environmental Writing and Wilderness Exploration. Together we raised over $80,000 at the Soirée to support this program. Thanks to you, NYA expanded its distinctive experiential learning offerings for all students, launched a new fleet of sea kayaks, opened a climbing wall on campus, provided training and certification to faculty interested in integrating environmental experiences into their curriculum, and helped NYA students learn and grow in natural settings in Maine and beyond.

On behalf of all the students and teachers at NYA, thank you for your generosity.

Sincerely, Benjamin Jackson Head of School
