Program made posssible by Prentis Printing Solutions, Inc.
How to Participate in the Auction
All participants must register and receive a bidding number. It is a
quick procedure to record your name and contact information. You
are then assigned a number on a bidding panel. When Ryan Brechlin,
of Nest Egg Auctions, introduces an item you are interested in, simply
raise your paddle at the amounts you are willing to pay for it.
If you win an item, the transaction is instantly recorded in the computer system under your bidding number. The cashier can then call up
your number in the system at any time thereafter, so you may pay and
leave at any time and receive a printed
receipt.
[NOTE: At a regular auction you would be expected to pay a Buyer’s
Premium, usually 10% added to the price when the hammer came
down. Nest Egg Auctions has waived all fees and premiums for us, so
you are saving 10% of what you would pay elsewhere.]
What Are Pre-Bids?
If you are unable to attend the auction you may register with The ACCC
before hand (203-639-2856) and leave pre-bids for any items in the
catalog which catch your fancy. When you leave a pre-bid, you should
register the highest amount you are willing to pay. If someone present
at the auction, or another registered pre-bidder, bids a higher amount
than you have registered for that particular item, you will not win it.
However, if other bidders drop out it is possible you will win that item
for less than your highest pre-bid.
Bidding by Phone
You may participate in the live bidding for auction items by telephone.
Simply pre-register with us and we will arrange it.
Payment
All items should be paid for at the time of sale. We accept cash, of
course, personal checks and/or Visa and Mastercard.
Thank you for participating!

Augusta Curtis Cultural Center Annual Benefit Auction
Augusta Auction 2012
The Rules of Engagement
1
In 1901 Augusta Munson Curtis offered to build Meriden a
public library with one stipulation: the City had to allocate
at least $3,000 a year to run it. The City accepted her offer
and Mrs. Curtis commissioned architect Richard Williams
to design the building in a Greek classical revival style and
engaged the H. Wales Lines Co. to build it. In 1903 The
Curtis Memorial Library opened its doors to the public
and for the next 70 years faithfully served residents and
immigrants alike.
ing process of saving as much of the original building as
possible. They were also able to add an elevator, which
has allowed handicapped people to reach the Rotunda
on the top floor for the first time.
The building was leased to The Augusta Curtis Cultural
Center, Inc, a non-profit 501C3 which sprang from the
original resident commission, and the building was reopened in the fall of 2001 as flexible exhibition space to
promote the cultural interests of the area.
By the early 1970s the role of the public library had become
so critical to education in Meriden that
a new facility, some
20 times larger (!),
had to be built on
Miller Street. From
1976 to 1978 the old
Curtis Library was
partially renovated
(with the addition
of a handicapped ramp to the main floor) and until 1996,
the Meriden Heritage & Culture Commission organized
limited art, music, cultural events and occasional public
meetings. While the building was still habitable it served
as a home to the Meriden Hall of Fame and The Ponselle
Society, but was shut down in 1997 due to disrepair.
Each year the Center must raise over $80,000 to keep the
doors open. We do this through grant writing, building
rentals, annual appeal, donations, memberships legacies, and major fund raising events like the auction.
Funds from the Auction and
other fundraising events,
help the center to provide
varied arts and cultural programs and events. The Center added mini camps this
past Summer including cake
decorating, floral design, and
photography. Art camps are
few and far between and the
ACCC is proud to be able to
offer 2 months worth of artistic camps, programs, and
workshops in July & August.
A commission was created of 28 volunteer residents
to explore the possible uses of the old library if the City
chose to save it. In 1998 the Meriden City Council unanimously approved a plan to begin renovation and restoration. From 2000 to 2001, with great care and skill, architect
Richard Brown, SRC Construction and the Building Committee (please see lobby plaque), took on the pains-tak-
All in all, The ACCC is a remarkable story about a remarkable city where, in this building, Meriden has for over a
century strived for the highest common denominator
to unite its citizens. Some people even call The Augusta
Curtis Cultural Center, “Meriden’s Living Room.” Indeed, it
is the place where people of all ages, colors and creeds
put their best foot forward to the world.

83. 1 hour Reiki Session
Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is a gentle ‘hands-on’ relaxation and
healing technique. It relieves stress, reduces pain, regulates blood
pressure and can also provide an energy boost. It is a holistic
therapy that removes blocks to the flow of energy in your body and
facilitates balance and support on all levels. This can ease chronic
pain, lessen anxiety and tension, decrease fatigue, strengthen the
immune system, reduce the effects of stress, and provide a sense
of well-being and peace. Reiki balances the energies of the body
and works on physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Schedule
