Silent Auction
To help cover the costs of presenting this weekend, with wonderful talent from far away places, we're holding a silent auction. Please donate something wonderful, interesting or uneeded (by you) and we'll find a new home for it. Also, bring along some spending money as we're sure someone will donate some wonderful thing you just have to have. Bid early, bid often. There will be an auction on Friday night and another on Saturday.
Local dancers will offer bed and floor space- contact Janine at 517 484 9325
if you need a place to stay; or you can send an email to Janine by clicking here . If
you choose to stay in a hotel, The
Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau Website will connect you
to hotels in the Lansing area. NOTE- there is a Michigan State home football game (and it is homecoming!) this weekend, so if you are interested in a hotel, reserve early! We'd suggest heading to the west side of Lansing for hotels- several options there including Holiday Inn, Motel 6, Red Roof.
There is a Radisson Downtown about 2 blocks from CUMC.
There is a nice bed and breakfast a few blocks from CUMC. Take a look at the Cozy Koi web site, if you are interested in staying there.
Another interesting B and B option is Topliff's Tara, a few miles east near Williamston. B and B lodging on a llama farm.
