Dear all, we would like to thank you for all of your support during this difficult pandemic year of 2020. Rochester Math Club has switched to online weekly meetings since March, and our coaches have even offered the meetings during the summer break. We also hosted the 2nd Rochester Math Festival. Over 300 students from all over the world participated in the seminars and the Rochester Area Math Contest. This summer, our online Art of Sciences camp was also a success. Our coaches also have lead or supported many online classes to help students learning together.

In previous years, we have held our annual fundraising auction in person. This year, we are using an online format from December 7th (9AM) to 12th (5PM). All the items are listed below. Thanks for our coaches and their families and friends to donate these wonderful items. The ones only for Rochester residents are labeled "Rochester ONLY".

During the auction week (12/7-12/12), 2 local businesses are generously offering that 10% of proceeds will be donated to RMC. Please mention "Here for Rochester Math Club" when you place your orders:
             Kingdom Buffet takeout, 507-282-0211, 1639N Broadway Ave, Rochester, MN
             Tea Time, 507-261-9868, 20 2nd Ave SW, Rochester, MN

Please fill this form for the price you would like to bid for the items (https://forms.gle/3exkqmddMPytx1Ym8). We will update the highest bid on this webpage daily. We will contact the winners this Saturday, December 12th night and let you know the process to make your payment. Rochester friends could pick up their items. For people out of town, the photo plaques will be mailed to you.

We really appreciate all the hard work of our coaches and our students to work together to learn math and have fun, and we wish you and your family have a wonderful holiday season and 2021!
