Fundraising Auction

There will be three different areas for you to consider donating handmade items:
1.     The Baked Goods area this would be the tables showing home cooked or baked items such as cupcakes, cookies, candy, and slices of cake. These items would  be sold for cash, so we need members to price them.
2.     Some tables will hold the small handmade items for sale (also for cash)  such as children’s tee shirts, baby clothes, baby blankets, mittens, scarves, socks, placemats, table runners, napkins, microwave bowl holders, and even your old Halloween costumes since Halloween is later that week!
3.    And lastly, items for auction.  These will be auctioned off by the auctioneer.  The items should be clean, unbroken, and something you think  will  sell.  That can be pictures, paintings, lap quilts, small furniture items or baskets.  Things that are still useable that you think someone would bid on. Plants or flower arrangements would likely sell.

These are all ideas of items you can get started on, so they are ready for Oct. 27th.  I  need to fill out the proper paperwork and get it turned in to see if it will be accepted by the church council.   Since I am a member of Calvary Lutheran, we will not be charged a fee for usage. However, there are several things in the contract that we are responsible for.  Such things as setting up the room and then returning it at the end of the auction the way it looked when we got there. We also must clean up after the auction, cleaning up any garbage and making sure the bathrooms are clean.  In the weeks to come I will be making up work sheets for volunteers to sign up for some of these responsibilities.  For example: set up on the 26th after church, putting up tables for  handmade items and the baked goods. And several tables for the handmade small items,  we will also need volunteers to keep track of the bidding once the auction starts and the person who bought the items and  the  price so we can collect the money after the auction.
