Bidding is now open to land a date with Acton bachelors

Two of Acton's most eligible bachelors have put themselves on the auction block to raise money for the Acton branch of the Canadian Cancer Society. Regional councillor and restaurateur Clark Somerville and assistant aquatic co-ordinator for the Town of Halton Hills and auxiliary police officer John Eddolls have offered to take two women out for an evening later this month. Bids for the "dates" will be accepted through a silent auction open to all single women aged 25 and up in Acton and surrounding area. The auction sheet will be available for sign up at Blue Springs Spa and Salon in downtown Acton. Bidding opened March 26 and will close at 5 p.m. Saturday, April 21. The opening bid is $100 and will go up in $5 increments. Somerville and Eddolls will donate all proceeds to the Acton Branch of the Cancer Society and to the Acton Angels breast cancer fundraiser. The two highest bidders will be treated to dinner at Tanner's Pub & Grill Saturday, April 28 followed by the Acton Angels' Dance at the legion later that night. Kristine Cieslok of Blue Springs Spa and Salon has offered to do the two winners' hair before the big night. Bids can be placed on line at elainethomassales@sympatico.ca. Bidders' e-mail addresses and names must match.
