Dear Members and Friends, 

The annual auction fundraiser for First Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City is scheduled for Saturday, November 11, 2023, 5:30 PM at This is the Place Heritage Park – Garden Place. The theme this year is “The Future’s So Bright, We’ve Gotta Wear Shades”! 

We are proud to announce that Nan Seymour will be this year’s Fairly Free Thinker Awardee.  Nan is a writer and activist working to save the Great Salt Lake. She led 45-day vigils on Antelope Island for the imperiled Lake throughout each of the Utah Legislature’s 2022 and 2023 sessions.  

A silent auction will begin online on November 4 and run through November 11. The in-person event from 5:30 to 9:30 PM on Saturday the 11th will include cocktails, dinner, Fairly Free Thinker Award, opportunity drawing, silent auction, and live auction. Location is This is the Place Heritage Park – Garden Place, 2601 East Sunnyside Ave. Childcare will be offered at the Church from 5:00 to 10:00 PM - so parents, you can have a night out (contact the office for a childcare registration form)!  

See instructions below on. All members who have never attended a First Church auction in past years can attend on November 11 for half-price!  You just need to pick up a half-price coupon at the Auction table in Eliot Hall after Sunday service. As you make your ticket donations and sponsorships remember that you will have the option to pay the credit card processing fees so that the church doesn’t have to.
