LIFE Mower County: Mark your calendars for a online auction

Published 6:30 am Saturday, August 1, 2020

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

A virtual online auction will take the place of our cancelled 10th annual Taste of Mower County, that was set to happen on Aug. 23.

Due to COVID-19 concerns, we decided an online event was the best way to still connect to our supporters and the community. The auction will begin at noon on Monday, Aug. 17, and close at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 23, followed by a short program on Facebook Live.

This auction is open to anyone, but you must pre-register before the event to bid on auction items.  Learn more at www.lifemowercounty.org/tomc2020.

Free virtual program opportunities are available

We may be practicing social distancing for the time being, but that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to connect with each other and hang out.

We are excited to offer virtual programs for LIFE participants. Learn more by visiting www.lifemowercounty.org/virtualprograms. Video programs are conducted over Zoom, a free app that can be downloaded on your phone, tablet or computer.

We are still adapting and changing programs based on participant and family needs, and we would love to hear your thoughts and ideas! Send your feedback to info@lifemowercounty.org and let us know how we can better support you while we are all staying safe at home.  Upcoming activities include virtual field trips, crafts, trivia and more.
