ESCANABA — The Bay College TRIO club is holding its annual Silent Night Auction.

It started Nov. 25 and will close at 1 p.m. on Dec. 9. Local artists, businesses, and organizations have donated their goods, services, time, and talents for the auction to help benefit the student organization, which is one of the largest and most active at Bay College.

The auction will take place in the HUB area at Bay during regular building hours, Monday through Friday. Winning bids will be collected and distributed the day after it closes.

The auctioning of these items will help offset the costs of the annual TRIO Club trip in the spring of 2020. TRIO Club is a social, cultural, academic, and service-oriented student organization dedicated to fostering community among first generation, low-income, and disabled college students of all ages at Bay College.

All community members are encouraged to participate in the Silent Night Auction. For more information about TRIO, and how to support their mission or get a student you know involved, contact TRIO by phone (906) 217-4133, or by email at martinj@baycollege.edu.
