A great idea from lymemomtooo, a Lymenet member.

Our support group has tallied up the sales from Thurs night and we have a total of $160 for Dr. Jones..

2 weeks ago we got an idea to have a silent auction with members bringing items and wallets to the meeting..Emails were sent. We received quite an assortment including some lovely hand painted slates and other items and some homemade rolls..The suggestions included, new or like new, or homemade.

We only had 11 present and were able to raise $160 for the cause, so it ended up being easy for everyone and while not a large amount of money, we think it will help the cause. If we would have had a better attendance, I am sure we would have made much more..

We had (pre-printed) approx 25 papers with a place for minimum bid, item number, a space for description of the item and lines with name and phone #'s for the bidders to fill out. And remember pencils..

Again it was easy so if any support groups needs an idea, it should work. Good luck..
