FJWC Galentine’s Day Auction

It is almost time for the FJWC Galentine’s Day Auction on February 4, 2026 at 6pm at Lakeside Country Club and registration is now open! 

 Please follow this link. You will be directed to our online Auction site. Go to “Purchase Tickets” and follow the prompts. As a reminder, the cost of your ticket is already paid for in your dues so this event is complimentary. We just need you to “purchase” a ticket as your RSVP and so you’re set up and ready to check in. 

 If you are new to One Cause you will be directed to register, if you have an existing account, you just need to login. It’s easy! Please make sure you add a current credit card whether you are new or existing.

 Once you have decided on who you are bringing as your guest, please send the online auction site link directly to them to “purchase” their ticket http://bidpal.net/2026fjwcauction .  We ask that active members each bring one guest as an FJWC outreach effort and because MORE friends are MORE fun.

 You may also begin signing up to volunteer HERE. Each member must sign up for at least one volunteer job. 

 More details will be shared at our General Meeting on Tuesday, January 13th at Ninfa’s @7pm.
