For example, a $3,000 bid at last year’sauction provided one month of GEDinstructors for homeless adults in the Valley.Typically the event raises about $70,000for the shelter while simultaneously shiningthe spotlight on homelessness duringNational Hunger and HomelessnessAwareness Week.Tickets are available at the door, but Dietersuggests purchasing them ahead of time.Contact her at jenniferdieter@esfv.org orregister on the Emergency Center of the Fox Valley website.— By Grace SavidesexhibitsAllen Priebe Gallery,UW Oshkosh. 424-0147Marc LeutholdNov 2–30.
