Join Club Everyone, Me and U (Club EMU) for our fourth annual Talent Showcase & Silent Auction, celebrating the incredible talents and creativity of our neurodivergent community while raising funds to support future Club EMU activities and events. You’ll enjoy vocal performances, musical acts, comedy, and more. Your ticket price ($37.50 plus processing fees) include appetizers, dessert, and 3 complimentary raffle tickets. Wine, alcohol, and soda is available for purchase. Dress: Business casual attire!
This is a hybrid event: bidding on silent auction items can be done in person or online!
Every bid helps Club EMU continue to create meaningful social opportunities where neurodivergent individuals can connect, build friendships, be themselves, and experience a true sense of belonging. Funds raised through our Silent Auction help make future Club EMU social activities and events possible. So find something you love, place a bid (or two!), and know that whether you win an auction item or simply join in the fun, you’re helping create more opportunities for friendship, connection, acceptance, and belonging. Thank you for supporting Club Everyone, Me and U — where you can be a friend and make a friend with acceptance, understanding, and kindness. 💚

Whether you’re joining us for the Talent Showcase at McMenamins Mission Theater or cheering us on from home, you can participate in our Silent Auction! So many great packages, so little time: 4-Night All-Inclusive Caribbean Getaway for Two, Freeland Spirits Distillery Tours, Palm Springs Escape, Nashville Getaway, Roku Select Series 32″ TV, and much more. Join us at McMenamins Mission Theater or bid online from the comfort of your couch, but don’t miss your chance… auction bidding closes at 8:30pm on Saturday, September 26th.
Our Silent Auction is a hybrid online and in-person auction. Guests attending in person will find QR codes at the event and can bid directly from their own phones or personal devices. To place a bid, you will be asked to enter your payment information through Zeffy. You will only be charged if you are the winning bidder. Winning bidders who are at the Talent Showcase must pick up their auction items that evening.
Please note: With the exception of auction items that can be delivered electronically, we are unable to ship auction items. Please bid only if you are able to arrange local pickup. Our TravelPledge trip packages can be delivered electronically, so bidders do not need to be local to participate in bidding on those experiences.
How Online Bidding Works:
You do not need to attend the Talent Showcase to bid! If you can’t join us in person, participating in the online auction is a wonderful way to be part of the evening and support Club EMU from wherever you are. Click the button below to bid online beginning at 5:30pm. To place a bid, you will be asked to enter your payment information through Zeffy. You will only be charged if you are the winning bidder. Bidding closes promptly at 8:30pm on September 26. Zeffy will automatically charge the payment method of the winning bidder. Keep an eye on your favorite items throughout the evening — someone else may have their eye on them too!
Winning & Picking Up Your Items 🛍️
