Operation: Silent Auction Challenge

Donate Themed Gift Baskets!
 
The PPAG Fundraising Committee would like to challenge it members to pull together and donate to the silent auction a themed basket or box. Get together with others in your institution or region to put together a basket of items that are unique to your city/state/region to share a "taste" of your home. If you would prefer, choose another theme such as a coffee basket, chocolate basket or children's book basket. It does not have to be big or tall or even in a basket. There will be awards given for the most creative as well as the basket which goes for the highest bid! Start thinking and get creative! If you would like to submit a basket for the silent auction, please e-mail Julie Clyce and notify her of your theme.
 
Other Donation Ideas
 
The PPAG Fundraising Committee is calling on PPAG members past and present to donate items to the 2007 Annual Silent Auction! This year's auction promises to be the BEST EVER. We have already received 2 iPod minis, a portable DVD player, a TiVo, CD's... and more! But we still need your help!

Here are just a few examples of the many wonderful items donated for last year's auction by talented and generous PPAG members:
  • artwork and photography:  landscape and underwater photographs created by our very own PPAG members.
  • sports items:  autographed sports memorabilia, gear
  • electronics:  camera accessories, headphones, digital camera, satellite radio, TiVO
  • food and drink items:  many varieties of imported and domestic wine
  • travel and recreation:  timeshare weeks, hotel stays. 
  • educational: textbooks, CD-roms
To donate, please bring your item to the Annual Meeting, and drop it off at the PPAG Office at the Hotel. You can donate anything! Please email Julie Clyce in advance and let him know what you are donating and the retail value of the item.

Don't have an item to donate, that's okay. If you prefer to donate cash so that the Fundraising Committee can purchase an item, please direct your browser to our donations website. Please designate "Silent Auction" in the comments field. Or, you can always send a check to the PPAG office.

Act Now! Help us raise funds for PPAG!
