Taste of the Best / Silent & Live AuctionEnjoy a culinary experience at our “Club Holiday Sampler,” and have fun participating in our silent and live auctions.  The evening includes a competition among some of the finest area restaurants and caterers.  They will be presenting their favorite hors d’oeuvres leading into the silent and live auctions. The event is held at Endwell Greens on the 2nd Monday in December.  Tickets are only $30 per person and include food, drinks, and lots of fun bidding for great holiday gifts, household appliances, and even a stay in a condominium in Florida!
