SOC Mad Men Silent Auction - Detroit Yacht Club

The silent auction will be held on Thursday, September 13, 2012 at the historic Detroit Yacht Club where guests will have the chance to bid on items ranging from restaurant gift certificates to stunning jewelry and antiques. Guests will also enjoy cocktails, heavy hors d'oeuvres and entertainment by renowned local pianist/singer Rennie Kaufmann.  

The annual auctions are SOC’s largest fundraisers and the proceeds generate 25 percent of SOC’s  revenue for one year.  “The auctions are our only major fundraisers for the entire year and the funds we raise make all the difference for how we are able to serve our seniors for the upcoming year,” says Sharon Maier, SOC Executive Director.  Proceeds help SOC continue and expand vital programs such as Meals on Wheels, Home Repair and Information and Assistance. 

“SOC is a wonderful organization,” says Gioconda McMillan.  “It fills a critical need for Grosse Pointe seniors.”  Gioconda and her husband, Thayer, are the honorary chairs for this year’s events.
