Each year our family grows and so we've decided that it's time to do a "fundraiser" to save money for the next years reunion.
So, we are going to have a FIREMAN"S AUCTION (or Chinese Auction - or any other name you want to call it :)
Here is how it works -
Everyone brings nice items, homemade crafts or arts or even a very nice used item, that you are no longer using. Everyone buys tickets for $1 each, write your name on the tickets and then each item has a paper bag next to it. so you drop a ticket or many in each bag, depending on how badly you want that item. Then after the time period for bidding is up. someone draws one ticket out of each bag and they win the item.
So someone could get an item for cheap, but everyone that bid is also paying for it. We thought it would be a fun way to raise money for future reunions. Everyone would bring crafts, art or nice things to the reunion for this auction.... I love seeing everyone's talents and fun ideas too.... We thought it would be a blast.
We will do a Kids table for .50 a ticket - please bring a few kids items. Things that kids would want, but that are in good condition or new.

Fireman's Auction

Here is an e-mail from Liz:
I talked with the ranger at the park yesterday.
I found out that there is electric in out group sight.
(there is only one over night group camp sight the other is for day use only)
There are even lights there, but they shut off at 10pm, that is when quiet time starts,
so we need to be done with our activities and quiet by that time each night.
We have a covered pavilion with tables.
Pets are allowed as long as they are on a leash at all times.
And as far as the mosquitoes, he said they are not that bad this year, and they
have a company that comes out and sprays for them. He gave me their number
so I could call and just let them know that we have a big group coming and so they
can spray right before we get there. Hopefully that will help, but I'd bring you bug
spray and candles etc. too!
We want to do a Baby Shower so, I am wondering how many of the pregnant women will be there and what sex of baby they are having. (if they know)
If you have any crafts you could bring, please do, we will have fun on Sunday doing those.

So, of those who I haven't received money from yet, I will get it from you at the reunion.
