“expanding horizons
through the power of one
to one friendships”
At tonight's auction you will have the opportunity to help Big
Brothers and Big Sisters of Elkhart County. Your attendance
here and your active bidding on auction items is already a
great help to Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Tonight, when
you purchase auction items, you probably already know that
Indiana State Sales Tax at the rate of 7% will not be
charged on your purchases, however, your purchases will be
subject to a services fee.
The rate for this services fee is 10%, which provides for the
cashiers, the computer equipment and the auction
consulting work CM Benefit Auctions does for Big Brothers
and Big Sisters of Elkhart County. In addition, this services
fee provides silent and live auction invoices for tonight's
auction.
Everyone understands that this services fee amounts to an
additional expense to you as a purchaser, but we ask you to
recognize that your generosity in accepting this fee simply is
another way you can help Big Brothers and Big Sisters.
If you have any questions concerning the services fee,
please feel free to ask the auctioneer or cashier for
clarification.
Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Elkhart County appreciates
your support and wants to thank you for attending the
