Auction Baskets

You should be receiving your Reminder Cards for the SIS Fall Spectacular in the next day or so. Be sure to find a special spot for them on your refrigerator and mark your calendar to be there. Between now and then, we need to create 15 - 16 theme baskets for auction at the event. (This is the part of the evening that brings in the most money, so they are VERY important). If two (2) or three (3) or more members get together to do a basket the cost to each individual will be minimal. These are really fun to do and don't take a lot of time. I am enclosing some suggestions for themes, some of which we have done before and they have done well in the past: Boat and Car (emergency kits, washing supplies, maintenance supplies) Boat and Fishing Items Computer/Office Supplies Poker/Game Night Handyman Items (nails, screws, small tools, neat and unusual gadgets, etc.) Pet Supplies Gardening Tools and Supplies Golf Items Gourmet Wine, Foods and Cheese Wii Games Scrapbooking/Arts and Crafts Supplies Knitting Supplies Martini Party Supplies Lake Murray theme Items Spa Items Christmas/Thanksgiving Clemson/USC Tailgate Kitchen Gadgets Bar-B-Que Basics These are not intended to be all-inclusive, so feel free to come up with your own themes. Something new this year - WE ARE GOING TO TAKE CREDIT CARDS FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THIS EVENT. Clara R is going to head up the basket drive, so if you have questions call her at home number. If you decide to do a basket, please call her or e-mail me at LakeMurraySIS@aol.com to let us know what your theme is. It will help us avoid a lot of duplication. If you do not want to do a basket, but have some items that could be used, or would be willing to contribute toward basket purchases, please let Clara or me know. Checks should be made out to Lake Murray Sisters in Service and mailed to me at PO Box 64, Ballentine, S.C., 29002
