Call for Silent Auction Items

Gents - as I mentioned in an earlier email regarding the costs for our 40th Reunion, we are attempting to offset the costs by holding a Silent Auction on Friday evening.  Sandy and Marja Sandberg, the Activity Bosses for this event, assisted by Deb Rose, are in the active "collection" stage for items to include that which would help generate some cost offsetting revenue.  Suggestions include, but are not limited to:

·          For those of you in the B&B or restaurant business, or who know of someone in the business, fine dining experiences or weekend getaways at romantic, historical, or wild destinations, are always popular. 

·          For those in other lines of business, such as craft, gift, art, hardware or other shops, or who know someone who is, may be willing to provide a suitable item for inclusion, any donations are encouraged and will be cheerfully accepted.

·          Anyone who personally produces works of art, or other products, may be willing to donate time and/or samples. 

·          Want to give away one of those extra weeks at the time share, or how about a week at your "cabin" at the shore or in the mountains?  Here's a great way to share it with a Classmate. 

·          One can even donate Golf Lessons, Flying Lessons, Skiing Lessons, Airline Flight Coupons & miles, Gift Cards, or even blank checks!

·           Army or Navy Parkas, B-robes, Blue USNA Bedspreads, or other nostalgia inducing memorabilia are welcome, of course, BUT ONLY IF they are in excellent condition (Sandy says, "please, no old pairs of "grease black shoes", smashed Midn hats, or moth-eaten blankets, etc!!). 

·          Not sure if we can accept any AK-47 War Souvenirs, Liberty remembrances, or the like, but, then again, why not? (as long as they have been demilitarized!! :-)) 

Anyway, I think you all get the picture.  PLEASE contact Sandy Sandberg at jim.sandberg@1969.usna.com to arrange for delivery of your contribution. 

Be creative, be generous, be part of the fun!!

Non Sibi,

Steve
