I just joined the RMEF and haven't heard about the auctions. Are they a good time and worth going? What do they do there?
You should go to one and find out. Odds are you will enjoy it. They are a chance to meet other RMEF members. Given that they serve as fundraisers, they are usually lots of opportunities to participate in raffles, silent auctions, live auctions, and other such activities. Go and have fun at one.
