Silent Auction
Weeping Water Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a “Silent Auction” for the annual Come Home for the Holidays celebration. This will be the third year for the silent auction so we are expecting bigger and better things to come. One half of the proceeds will go towards the Weeping Water Ministerial Fund, which provides emergency funds for the area’s needy families or individuals on a needed basis. The other half of the profits will be donated to the Weeping Water Community Building Fund, which will benefit our entire community.
So here is what you can do to help!
Prepare a basket filled with goodies! Be creative! Theme baskets are always a hit. Some creative ideas are Kids Christmas baskets, baked goods baskets, dinner baskets, sports fan baskets, and pet supply baskets. Be sure to list the contents of the basket and the name of your club, organization, or business name on a card wither inside or outside the basket. Also include a minimum bid if necessary.
You can deliver your basket to Tammy’s Soap Shack or the Law Offices anytime. The deadline for dropping off baskets is November 30th at 2:00 pm.
Feel free to contact Doris, Barb, or Tammy with any questions or concerns about the auction.
