TOMORROW! - Bachelor / Bachelorette Auction 
Attend the first annual yep! Bachelor and Bachelorette Auction on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at the Hilton Garden Inn. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Erie DAWN and Young Erie Professionals. Erie DAWN provides transitional housing for homeless women and children. By offering a two-year program of subsidized housing, case management, mentoring and advocacy, Erie DAWN helps homeless women transition back into independence by helping them to acquire the tools and resources needed for self-sufficiency. TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW and can be purchased by clicking here. The cost is $15.00 for yep! members and $20.00 for the general public. Fifteen auctionees are scheduled to participate and each individual will be paired with a date package for an evening out on the town. The event will feature live music, hors d'oeuvres, a silent auction, and promises to be another great yep! event. Bring a friend and we look forward to seeing you there!
