Ideas and Donations Needed

We are seeking ideas and donations from every town in OC for silent auction items. We also need a volunteer to organize desserts for intermission.

Would you like to have an evening sail on Lake Morey? Want to learn how to roll sushi? Would you benefit from having a Master Gardener teach you how to prune your apple trees? Would you like to commission a custom made baby quilt for your first grandchild? ....or a "perfect fit" tea cozy for your one-of-a-kind tea pot?

Do you long for a couple of wheelbarrow loads of well rotted manure for your tomato plants - delivered to your garden? Would you like to "borrow" a super-big grill for your next family reunion picnic? Do you wish you could order up a hay ride...a glider ride...a snow mobile excursion?

Tell the OCDC Fund Raising Committee what you would "love to bid on" at this year's Silent Auction for the 2nd Annual June Orange County Roof Raising/Fund Raising Banjo Dan & Willy Linder Sky Blue Boys and we will do our best to get it in the auction.

Silent Auctions are great fun and a chance to learn about local businesses, crafters, artists and talented neighbors. We in Orange County have benefited from the generous support of our local business owners and artists.

One of the best ways we can show them our appreciation is to look to other benefactors for this year's auction. Tell us what is on your "wish list" and we will try to get it into the auction.

Please contact Jean MacDonald jmacdusa@aol.com or Sherry merricksherry@gmail.com with your ideas and or donations. Thanks!
