Auction #4 - 13th Anniversary Managers' Gift - COMPLETE

Auction #4: 2017 Managers Gift
This auction will end Feb 22

Every year I produce a special item for our management team and others who have contributed to keeping the IAP running smoothly. For many years it was a distinctive mug, last year it was a bowl, and this year; silkscreened pint glasses. There are only three ways to get one of the managers gifts: be an active member of the IAP management team, as a special gift from me, or to win the yearly auction we have for the managers item.

This year I've put together a set consisting of two of the managers glasses, two of our engraved glasses, and a set of four sandstone coasters. This is the last full set of coasters in my possession, found only after a thorough cleanout of the prize shelf last month. I'll also include a pound of (your choice - milk or dark) chocolates from a Cleveland favorite: Malley's Chocolate
