Family Auction:
Calling families one and all. We will once again be doing a family auction. In case you are wondering where the money goes, here is a rundown of some of what we have contributed to in the last two years. Monies were used to pay for gas for the boats, food for the main meals, donation to Romanian fund in James' name, flowers for Randy's funeral and a $750 down payment on our accommodations for this year. It has been nice to have monies on hand for events. We need to continue to generate funds--hence the auction.
This past year we did a small type of give away auction for the kids. We need input as to whether we want to continue this. ( We asked each family to donate inexpensive items that kids would like.) The adult auction was a little disappointing this past year and we hope to generate some enthusiasm for increased participation. Donations can be gift baskets, home made items like purses, apron, flowers, quilts, etc.and donated services like haircuts and pedicures. Personal items like Jana's photographs and Carol's pottery are very popular. No pressure there. So put on your thinking caps and let's get going. We are going to have so much fun this year because we are all together. Send questions and feedback to Dodie for the auction!
