We have 32 donations now, and three weeks before the auction! I called our local paper today, and they agreed to do a news story on the auction, and donate the cost. So I wrote up a little story explaining what we're doing and why, and it will probably go on the front page. (We live in a town of 6,500, so *all* the news stories go on the front pg.)
Does anyone have any ideas for games, etc. during the auction? I have personally never been to one, so not sure just what exactly happens...we thought about selling chances to name the baby for a $1 ea., with a prize to the winner, and an area where guests could write a little letter of blessing to the baby, for a scrapbook.... We are going to ask everyone who comes to bring their favorite finger foods for refreshments, and we will supply hot chocolate, coffee, and hot cider. Any other brilliant ideas?.....I'm beggin' here people!!! I only have three more weeks to plan this thing, and I'm gettin' a little nervous.
