We can't wait to work with him again at next year's Backcounty Bash!"

"Glass Half Full" ... a fabulous wine tasting event for Greenhouse Scholars featured a live auction conducted by Norm Silver.

Luxurious stays in Napa Valley and an expedition on a National Geographic Ship were top auction items.

"This was the first time our organization has ever held an auction as part of a fundraising event and we were unsure about what exactly we needed to do and how the evening might look.  Norm coached us through the whole process -- he answered the multitude of questions we had, helped us to develop the auction list and order, and even accompanied us on a walkthrough of the event space the week prior.  With his outstanding attention to detail, he made sure the auction set-up was the best it could possibly be.  Most importantly, Norm was dedicated to supporting our cause and a pleasure to work with.  His involvement certainly made our auction easier and far more successful."

Amy Vreeland - Event planner .... Greenhouse Scholars    

“From start to finish, Norm worked with us to make our annual auction a success, and brought a number of great ideas and strategies to our planning committee.  Leading the auction with both sophistication and humor, Norm did a fantastic job getting the items moving and the crowd excited.  He provided ‘the whole package’ of auction services to our event, and we will gladly hire him in years to come.”
