One of our new families for the 2013 reunion approached us with an idea for a silent auction to be held at the reunion. They have already offered to donate a few items. However, to make it worthwhile, we would need more. Is anyone interested in doing this?
Funds raised could be used for next year's reunion expenses or to sponsor an orphan cause in Bulgaria or both.
Here are some ideas for potential silent auction items:
1) Gift baskets (lots of great examples in various price ranges can be found on Pinterest)
2) Handmade items from our talented artists and crafters: quilts, scarves, greeting cards, paintings, children's clothing, etc.
3) Homemade preserves and sweet treats from our gifted cooks and bakers
If anyone is interested in having an auction and contributing an item, please leave a comment or email us. If there's enough participation, we will try our best to move forward with this idea.
While I am here, I also want to thank our families who have approached their placing agencies about making a donation to this year's reunion and the families who have offered to sponsor certain aspects of the event themselves (breakfast cereal, paper goods, and so on). We really appreciate everyone's efforts and know that with wonderful families like ours, this will be another great reunion.
