To create an inclusive environment, this year the TBS auction will only cost $12.50, plus each person brings appetizers for eight. Nosh and schmooze as you scope out the silent auction tables. The tables close at 5, 5:30 and 6 p.m. Desserts will be available at 6 p.m. with coffee or tea, and then the raffle and live-voice auction begin. Prizes range from gourmet dinners to art objects, including some unusual things along the way. Mission Mill Museum, 1313 Mill St. SE, Salem. 503-362-5004.
