[October 13, 2014]  LINCOLN - Lincoln College’s Iota Chi Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society will host a quarter auction fundraiser on Saturday, October 18, in the Davidson-Sheffer Gymnasium on the Lincoln campus. Doors open at 5:00 p.m. for a vendor show, and the auction starts at 6:00 p.m.

Auction paddles will be available for sale and most auctioned items will require only a single quarter bid. Auction items include gift certificates to area businesses, including free pizzas from Domino’s and $20.00 gift certificates to Don Panchito. Over 15 vendors have donated two items each, and several vendors will also have cash/carry tables where attendees may purchase additional items. Iota Chi Chapter members will also be selling pizza by the slice, subs, chips, soda and water at the event.

Participating vendors include Scentsy, Tupperware, Thirty-One, Mary Kay, Paparazzi, Miche, Beauticontrol, Pink Zebra, Origami Owl, Lemongrass Spa, Beach Body, Perfectly Posh, Jewelry in Candles, Premier Jewelry and more.

Iota Chi Chapter President, sophomore Elizabeth Herzog of Lincoln, Ill., noted “We are excited about this year’s quarter auction, and we are looking forward to using the funds raised from this event to improve the lives of community residents. Phi Theta Kappa has always been incredibly grateful for those who have generously donated to the causes we support.”
