Benefitting the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Fund Drive

9th and M Sts. SE, Building 76
Washington, DC 20374
The Silent Auction is an auction to raise funds for the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society, which has impacted the lives of Sailors and Marines for over 100 years. It will be held on May 3, 2012 at the Washington Navy Yard Museum. Music will be provided by members of the Navy Band. The NMCRS is a private, non-profit organization sponsored by the Department of the Navy with over 250 locations worldwide. In addition to offering interest-free loans, grants and scholarships, they provide visiting nurse services, “seabags” for infants, thrift shops and budget counseling and food lockers in some locations. The NMCRS office on the Washington Navy Yard is located at 1001 N Street SE, Bldg. 208, Suite 100, serving Sailors and Marines Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Read more about the 2011 Silent Auction in the July/August issue of Fanfare Online.
The silent auction is completely free and open to the public. Participants can bid on as many items as they choose, and group bidding is permitted for higher priced items. Winners do not have to be present to win, but payments must be made by either cash or check by the close of the auction. Prizes must be claimed within 90 days, with some exceptions. For more information, please contact MU1 Andrew J. Skaggs.
