[OT] Need Ideas for Charity Auction
Hi,
I'm coming up completely blank on this one, perhaps some of you might be willing to suggest some ideas. A group I belong to is having a charity purse auction in a couple months. For our auction, each of our members is making up at least one "theme purse". This could be a purse of any kind, and then you put goodies in it to make a theme. Then we're going to sell them via live auction for charity. For example, one of our members is doing a "beauty purse" which will contain a bunch of their skin care products donated by her daughter, who sells Mary Kay. Another person is doing a "poker bag" - the purse has a very subtle black-on-black design of the suits of cards on the outside, and she's putting in various things a poker player might like on the inside. My problem, as I said above, is that I'm coming up blank on ideas, but I have to have my purse pulled together and turned in in early January. Help? Anyone? Jeanne Hedge via google groups |

[OT] Need Ideas for Charity Auction
until recently I had a very cute purse from a purse boutique, on the front
are 2 ... drumroll please,... you guessed it kittens that looked strikingly like stormmee... got it before she arrived... get one with a cat and fill it with nip or those treats you think cost too much, petramalt and a zoom groom... there was a cheerleader purse that would be cute with diet snacks and an exercise video... there were purses with old movie stars on them... collection of Elvis movies or John Wayne... and put in some microwave popcorn.. sorry these sound lame but its the best I can do, Lee Jeanne wrote in message ...

Jeanne Hedge via google groups Hi Jeanne--I don't know what your spending limit is, but trips always auction real well at our annual Ball. You could put the plane tickets, hotel & restaurant vouchers in the purse. I like your idea!! We need a change. We do this dinner, dance & charity auction with items donated by merchants. This is the 10th year and it' seems like it's just getting so stale. :-( Sherry |
