Auction Fundraiser


This morning as part of the monthly general meeting, the Women's Club held a fundraising auction.

A huge variety and number of items were brought along and donated by members and these were grouped into 'lots'.  Beside each lot was a box.  Members then bought tickets for 50 cents each and dropped one in the box of any item that they were interested in - a 'Chinese' auction.  Later a single winning ticket was drawn from each box and the item was handed over to the lucky winner.


It seemed to work well.  A few larger items were sold via a 'Silent' auction and a total of $780 was raised in just a couple of hours.

I came home with an eclectic mix of items including some nice pieces of jewellery and a box of unsold items for the Bargain Loft!
