Auction items to donate
|
Because of the recent large increase in the facility rental fee, we are dependent on this non-dues income to maintain the frequency and quality of our meetings. Auction donations are not tax-deductible. We are emphasizing items of significant value and broad interest. To submit an item for posting on our website send a description of each item with estimated value, and suggested opening bid to Philippe Cailloux via this FORM. If you have any questions contact Philippe Cailloux at philippe AT cailloux.org
Suggested examples of donated items include:
CLICK HERE for a look at items donated so far for this year's auction. (FYI, here is the list from the 2010 auction.) (Old books, film cameras & darkroom items, and rotary dial phones are not in great demand.) We also encourage members who'd like to bring more 'casual' items (frames, books, prints, plants, small kitchen appliances/ tools, etc.) to do so on the day of the event. For each item please write on a small piece of paper: (1) what it is, (2) a suggested opening bid and (3) your name, and give it to our auction coordinator Deborah Plumley at the event. REMEMBER to bring a blank check to pay for items (since we cannot guarantee change for those bringing cash), and be prepared to retrieve any items that are not sold. Unsold items that have not been retrieved will be discarded. If you cannot attend the potluck/ auction, you may wish to make a donation to the club(check). |
| RSVP & Volunteers |
In August – September (by Wed Sept 7) we will need to know how many people are attending and the type of dish each plans to bring for the potluck. We will circulate a sign-up sheet at the August meetings to facilitate this process and also link a sign-up sheet to this web page. We will also ask for volunteers to arrive early (11:30 am) to help set up and also to tidy up after ward. |
