Carole, Jackie and I met to start organizing the wonderful donations you have given for our Fashion Show Door Prizes, Chinese, and Silent Auctions. We were able to make some great baskets and have lots of nice Door Prizes - thank you for everything.
As we were puttingeverything together we realized we could use a few moreitems to add to existing baskets, etc., so I need to ask for a few more things, please:
1) I still needmore bottles of liquor for our Raffle prize Basket of Cheer. I have gin, spiced rum, amaretto, and Chivas
2) a wooden bowl
3) items to complete a beach basket - we have the basket, beach towel, tumbler, and float - could use suntan lotion, sunglasses, flipflops, magazines and other "beachy" things
4) cloth napkins (4) preferably in blue, possibly with a chicken/rooster design
5) other items with chicken/rooster design to be used with a rooster table runner and wooden rooster cutting board
6) we have a lovely vase - could use a gift certificate from a florist to go with it
7) and of course,I can still use other gift certificates or items that you are gathering
Please remember the cutoff date to give me donations is at our February5th meeting.
Thank you – Sheila
