***************************************************************

This year we’re introducing a new opportunity for community members to help. No vacation home or culinary skills? No problem. Join with friends and create a Theme Basket of your choice:  fun items to be auctioned off. They should have a minimum value of $100 but the sky’s the limit.  It could be for a Game Night, a Movie weekend, Family Picnic, Day at the Beach!  Whatever inspires you! Just give us an estimate of the value of the items and we’ll take care of the rest.

***************************************************************

Describe the Experience or auction Item you are donating, any restrictions and your estimate of the value and we will plan for it in the program.

****************************************************************

Help us cap off the evening at the auction. Let us know what Dessert you’re bringing and we will collect it the afternoon of the auction. The Dessert Auction is a tradition where a friendly competition for tasty treats are auctioned off to complete the meal.
