Need donations for a silent auction for the member picnic in April

uglyknees · January 30, 2018, 4:47pm

Hello - last year we had our first annual DMS picnic with a silent auction to boot. Many members were very generous with the donations for this event and we raised $2K!!! This year we will direct all funds to the scholarship fund to build it up.

Here is a listing of what we had last year (some of it never happened but I was amazed by the success): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OJe_0bZyhdxqzS751Tk44SyQr9deE80iUuDbjY6ZNAk/edit?usp=sharing
I use color to organize forgive the observable chaos - tis a small window into my brain.

We are going to attempt this again (with some changes as discussed). If you would like to donate something or if you would like to approach a company or two for a donation please let me know.
I’ve already hit up a few on the list but hopefully, we can spread out the workload on this task.

Ok, yesterday I spent part of my lunch sending out emails to local mom and pop businesses in Carrollton. Won’t stop this train for nothin’. Let me know if you want to help.

I could donate a copy of this. Folks seemed to like it at the 10x10 show.

Walter donated a huge “Bob Ross” easel to Creative Arts but it is not something we could really use. Consider it added to the auction
