CAA Banquet Silent Auction Item Request

CAA is already preparing for our annual fundraising banquet, which will take place the evening of April 8, 2010. A major part of this event is a silent auction and we are gathering items to auction off to benefit CAA. If you have a potential auction item or know of an individual or business who might be willing to donate an auction item, please contact Katie Tharp at 612-251-4913 or katie.tharp@exploreveg.org.

Sample auction items:

• Artwork, pottery, jewelry
• Vegan bath or beauty products
• Items for the home such as nice linens, note cards, a vase, or cooking/serving utensils
• Themed baskets (examples: "movie basket" with DVDs, popcorn, and snacks, "gardener's basket" with gardener's gloves, seeds, small tools, and hand lotion)
• Certificates for services such as haircuts, massage, car services, residential painting, gutter cleaning, etc.
• Special experiences donated by an individual, such as a boat ride, the loan of a kayak, a "mystery date" for two, dinner prepared for four, a night of babysitting, a cooking class, etc.
• Items that people may purchase as gifts for pets or children, such as toys or snacks

If you have an idea for an auction item, please contact Katie to discuss.
