Second annual UCC silent auction is March 29 The University Children’s Center (UCC) will host their second annual silent auction Saturday, March 29, at University Place from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The event’s theme, "Imagination at Hand – Art and Literacy," showcases four books written by UCC children. "Tell Me What You Did Today," a book written by regional author Rick Kupchella, was used as the inspiration for the UCC childrens’ books.

Children ages 2-5 attending UCC have been illustrating and writing their books which will be published and auctioned in the silent auction. A total of four books will be completed by the UCC children. Also included in the event is a silent auction featuring works from local artists. All proceeds benefit programs at the Children’s Center. Tickets are $15 and may be purchased at the University Children’s Center at 525 Stanford Road; call 777-3947 for more information.
