We gave the Friends Auction plenty of love in this issue, but we would face some sleepless nights if we didn’t mention these four other auctions happening this month. Did we miss your May auction? E-mail us at news@theconcordinsider.com and we’ll add you to our list online. Be sure to put “auction” in the subject line.
– Do some silent bidding at the Granite State Symphony Orchestra’s spring concert “The Violin Times Two!” on May 8 at 8 p.m., at the Concord City Auditorium, 2 Prince St. The final concert of the season will feature violinists Elliott Markow and Gerry Mordis. All proceeds will benefit the orchestra. Tickets are $7 to $33. For more information, visit gsso.org or call 226-4776.
– A girls’ night out will be held at the Capitol Center for the Arts, 44 S.

Main St., is planning for May 22 at 5 p.m. Church members will feed you piles of homemade Swedish meatballs while the silent bidding is underway. Tickets are $8, $4 for children.
