Mujeres de Maiz benefit/auction set for Nov. 3

The Mujeres de Maiz Opportunity Foundation is hosting its 13th-annual Dia De Muertos Fall Auction Benefit on Saturday, Nov. 3, at Pioneer Memorial Park, 387 E. Washington St.

Cost is a suggested $12 donation; no advance tickets are sold.

Unlike previous events, this year’s benefit is set for 3:30-6 p.m. and features quesadillas and other snacks; beer and wine will be available.

As in previous events, the benefit’s silent auction features one-of-a kind items. During a break in the auction, program organizers host Mexican tin ornament painting; paint and take home a new ornament for the tree for $5.

All proceeds go to educational programs and projects of Mujeres de Maiz Opportunity Foundation, a Sequim based 501(c)(3) providing access to education to women and children in Chiapas, Mexico.
