I don't see one. I do them every month of the year with great results. Listen to your crowd. Schools tend to work around vacations schedules. Northern organizations sometimes avoid the holidays, when "the money" tends to head for warmer climates. Which is why many of the largest benefit auctions in Florida, California and Arizona are held in January, February and March.
Generally Jim books his auctions 8-12 months in advance. That's not to say you can't book him on 2 days notice. It has happened! The bottom line: If you are having a charity auction, get your auctioneer signed before most anything else you need that night.
