FAQ

Why is this year’s auction called Bin 41?
The title is a combination of the wine term “bin,” which refers to a specific storage area in a wine cellar, and the number of years that SPNS has been in operation.

Who is invited?
Our event is open to SPNS families (past, present, future…and prospective!) and their guests. Bring your friends and family! Please note that this is an adults-only event.

Where can I get a hard copy of the Item Donation Form or the Journal Advertisement Form?
If you scroll to the bottom of the SPNS Studio 41 home page, you will see a box on the lower right side titled “flash_widget.” Click on either form to download it.
