Of course, to have a successful auction, our main fundraiser for the year, there needs to be great events and items to auction off. You can download a donation form or pick one up at the Auction table in the core area after the service on Sundays. The form comes with some great donation ideas, but be creative. Also, you can pick up a kit at the table to help you obtain donations from your favorite merchants; services such as massages, haircuts, manicures, etc., restaurant gift certificates, and tickets to sports and other entertainment events always are very popular.
The deadline for getting in your donations is Sunday, April 15th.
Please direct any questions to Betsy Gilpin at betsygilpin@yahoo.com or 760-230-2515.
