[Nfbk] Can you help?

[Melanie Peskoe]

Hello!

In a continuing effort to once again make the Greater Louisville chapter
annual fundraising auction a great success, I would like to invite you to
consider the following.

 

Distributing donation requests to businesses is not the only way to find
auction items. Do you (or do you know someone) craft, knit, crochet, make
jewelry, babysit, dog sit, drive or run errands, bake, cook, do house
cleaning or organizing, provide computer or technology training? All of
these services could be donated and make fantastic auction items! For
instance, we could pair a handmade blanket with a DVD and popcorn and create
"movie night" themed package. 

 

Other themed packages might be a kids basket with various children's
activities (coloring, chalk, play dough, etc.), a jewelry package could
include a necklace and earrings set with a small jewelry box, or a gift
certificate for a photo shoot could be put in a picture frame for later use.
We could come up with a date night basket that could include a bottle of
wine, two glasses, chocolates and a dinner gift certificate, or a spring
cleaning basket that might have cleaning products, gloves, paper towels and
a certificate for home organizing or a gift card to Target for more supplies
(all in a small laundry basket). How about a new baby basket, or a "pamper
me" basket? The possibilities are endless. So put on your thinking caps and
let's make this auction the best it can be. Ask your friends, family and
neighbors for help! 

 

Just to give you a good incentive to get creative, I'll give the person who
brings the most creative basket or package a special treat. You know you're
curious! I can't wait to see what you all come up with!

 

Thanks!

Melanie
