Welcome to the Attleboro Rotary Auction homepage.
The 51st annual charity
auction hosted by the Attleboro Rotary Club will leap into the 21st century
by being online for a week of bidding beginning March 16th, capped with a
live auction close on March 24th starting at 7:00 PM. 51 years ago the first
auction was held live in the Grange Hall on Locust Street, now a houselot.
In the 1950’s it expanded to radio and for a long time became known as the
annual radio auction. In the 1980’s the shift to cable television became
possible and it became known as the annual cable auction. In the past 51
years the auction has easily raised more than a $ million for local
nonprofit organizations.

and Comcast Cable 15 in North Attleboro (audio portion only available in North),
on March 24th 2007 from 7 - 10pm. Beside this web site, A full listing of all
