This year’s auction is scheduled for

Saturday October 3, 2009 – DON’T MISS IT!

We’re on a Treasure Hunt

Annually Liberty Christian Schools holds a fundraising Dinner and Auction (silent and live) in the fall.  Each year we prepare 150-170 gift baskets for our silent auction.  You can help!!

In order for us to make all these baskets we need:

• baskets (ice chests, mini wheel barrows and tubs also work),
• packaging materials (bows, shred material, crumpled paper, transparent tape, cellophane or gift basket bags),
• gift items

When we prepare baskets we think in terms of “themes”.  Some past examples include:

• Ski Package Get Away – Gift Certificates to Mt. Shasta Ski Park, ski caps, gloves, hot cocoa mix.
• Here Fishy, Fishy - Gift Certificate to Strictly Fishing, new fishing reel, fishing gloves, filet board and knife.
• Movies: In or Out - Gift Certificates to Cinemark, microwave popcorn, movie candy, DVD movies (family friendly), gift certificate for pizza.
• BBQ King - BBQ apron and mitten, tool set, marinades and BBQ sauces, BBQ cookbook.

Gift items may be purchased, or donated unopened, or gently used items suitable for passing on.  Examples:

• Jewelry (do you get earrings EVERY holiday and you just won’t wear them all),
• Unburned candles or candleholders,
• Kitchen items (those still boxed “must-have” gadgets your friends gave you)
• Sporting goods (for things you’re now too old wise to keep doing)
• Gift Certificates (to places that you don’t go, or for items you won’t use)
• Movies (Opps…forgot you already had that one and bought another)
• Gardening Items (wind chimes, bird feeders, cute pots, hand tools)
• Home Décor Items (have you recently changed styles in your home but you have some very nice knick-knacks, pictures, etc.)
• Bath Sets/Perfumes (not your fragrance, or you’ll never use that many bath salts in this lifetime)
