2011 Silent Auction Help!
|
 Auction Items Needed! - It's Fun and Easy!
Our Silent Auction is shaping up to be truly wonderful with over $10,000 worth of auction items already received!, Donations received include: Vacations, restaurant and retail gift certificates, electronics, children's baskets, fine art and jewelry, books, wine and liquor, and much more. But we need many more auction donations by July 1st to reach our goal of at least $30,000 to make this year's auction all it can be. Ask at the stores you shop at or the restaurants you eat and the places you enjoy. Have a summer or winter cabin you could donate for a week? Bring your auction donations to the June 14th All Hands Meeting or drop them off at one our seven Twin Cities drop off locations. We have lots of great ideas and donating is simple fun and easy.
