maria9 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2012 Hi all, It is getting close. Some have wondered what to bring to the auction and raffle and what has sold well in the past. Items featuring mushrooms (not the indigestible kind :-) ) have sold very well in the past. Here are some on line shops that sell a variety of mushroom related products www.madaboutmushrooms.com and www.justmushroomstuff.com. The baskets featuring wine and other goodies have also sold well. As you know the auction and raffle helps to pay for the conference and further research for CH so anything you can do to help would be appreciated. Thanks and I am looking forward to seeing you all soon, Marsha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QnHeartMM 2 Report post Posted September 19, 2012 Hi all, I'll be sending a quilt with Joe for the auction. Here's a picture of the top (before borders and backing are applied). I'll be finishing it up today. What was intended to be a "throw" size is quickly turning into a twin bed size! I would use it as a nap quilt on the couch and my feet will be covered!

spiny 499 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 OK. Next time I am going to notify that my donation will go for the auction, not a lightening bolt!!!!!!!! And, I will get someone to make something 'cool' to donate! Well, unless you guys would go for home grown veggies prepped for the pantry or freezer!!!!!! I do make awesome venison jerky that sells around here for 10.00 per 4 oz. But, you guys might not like that. :'( spiny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
