Every year in Nevada County many non-profit organizations host fundraising auctions. However, for the last 22 years SYRCL’s auction has consistently stood out from the rest. The South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) announces their largest fundraising effort for the year with 22nd Annual Auction and River Celebration presenting “Las Aguas Vivas del Yuba” on Saturday, June 5, 5-10:30 pm at the Miners Foundry in Nevada City.

Considered one of the largest of Nevada County’s auctions and, this year we’ll be offering something new: a Spanish-themed wine and food pairing pre-event mixer, “Las Aguas Vivas del Yuba” celebrating the Living Waters of the Yuba, from 5-6:30 pm. We’ll be featuring six local wineries pouring 12 of their most appealing wines that will be paired with scrumptious tapas prepared by Jim Eckardt of Club 141 in Grass Valley. Enjoy the time sipping and socializing with friends while listening to live Flamenco guitar of Carlos de la Fuente. The sponsoring wineries will be present to discuss their wines, which includes Coufos, Montoliva, Nevada City Winery, Pilot Peak, Sierra Starr and Solune wineries.

Highlights of silent and live auction include:

• 7 nights in an Incline Village home with 3 bedrooms 3 baths plus a loft,
• A retreat to the Yuba River for 4 days 3 nights in a house that sleeps 10,
• 7 nights accommodations for up to 6 people in Magical Mazatlan,
