There will be three different areas for you to consider donating handmade items:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0The 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 \u00a0be sold for cash, so we need members to price them.
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Some tables will hold the small handmade items for sale (also for cash)\u00a0 such as children\u2019s 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!
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And lastly, items for auction.\u00a0 These will be auctioned off by the auctioneer.\u00a0 The items should be clean, unbroken, and something you think\u00a0 will\u00a0 sell.\u00a0 That can be pictures, paintings, lap quilts, small furniture items or baskets.\u00a0 Things that are still useable that you think someone would bid on. Plants or flower arrangements would likely sell.<\/p>\n
These are all ideas of items you can get started on, so they are ready for Oct. 27th.\u00a0 I\u00a0 need to fill out the proper paperwork and get it turned in to see if it will be accepted by the church council. \u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 In the weeks to come I will be making up work sheets for volunteers to sign up for some of these responsibilities.\u00a0 For example: set up on the 26th after church, putting up tables for\u00a0 handmade items and the baked goods. And several tables for the handmade small items,\u00a0 we will also need volunteers to keep track of the bidding once the auction starts and the person who bought the items and\u00a0 the\u00a0 price so we can collect the money after the auction.<\/p>\n
