Mayberry Days Silent Auction Results
The dust has settled on another WBMUTBB Silent Auction and it was our biggest year with a total of $6,246 raised for the Surry Arts Council this year. So many people to thank for their help with donations, assistance, and bidding. We tried something new this year with the TAGSale "Buy It Now" price and that was a success in reducing inventory quickly and letting people acquire something without having to wait. A special thanks to auctioneers James Pierce and Eric Lowery for their willingness and abilities. Some valuable lessons learned having gone through a little different format this year. One is needing a couple more volunteers to help with some specific tasks so if you are thinking you would like to be a part of the fun, please let me know. I've had a bucket on my head since Saturday and thought about a couple new things we might try next year. There are things that came in this year that didn't make it out to the tables, along with items that have been waiting for years to make an appearance, so keep your creativity going to make those great Mayberry items and plan for our 24th auction(s) next year at the 34th annual Mayberry Days.

Mayberry Days - Silent Auction update
We had another successful WBMUTBB Silent Auction this year raising $3,563.00 for the Surry Arts Council. Many thanks to those of you able to help out, donate, stop by to view, and bid. A special thank you to Dewey Lamb for all the great things he created for this year's auction. You beat everything! Welford - it may be easier to get taller performers than raise the Playhouse stage. ha! I expect the photos from the festival will be ready by next week. I will let the Digest know when they are online. TAGS Director Gary Nelson's son Garrett is even sending his for Surry Arts to post so there will be lots of good photos from the week.

WBMUTBB Silent Auction
With the Digest laying low over the summer, I failed to send out a reminder about the WBMUTBB Silent Auction during Mayberry Days. This coming Saturday will be our 20th one! We'll be set up in front of the Playhouse (under some shade tents!) Most people are aware of what it is all about, so I won't go into the details beyond a brief reminder to email me directly if you want more info or have something to donate. Many thanks to everyone who has already done so. It is most helpful to know what is coming in advance so I can make a bid sheet before Saturday morning. Please let me know if you have a donation, can help me organize things beforehand, or can help during the auction on Saturday after the parade from 10a to Noon. At the least, stop by and see all the great things we have this year, especially Dewey Lamb's new plaques and framed items. Photos of some of the things are at: http://www.surryarts.org/mayberrydays/fun/silentauction.html Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
WBMUTBB Silent Auction
Thank you to all who helped out again with this year's WBMUTBB Silent Auction - donating items, helping on Saturday, and bidding. We raised $4,795.75 which is the second highest total in the 20 silent auctions we've had! All of the proceeds from our chapter's annual community service project go to the Surry Arts Council to support Mayberry Days. I'll second Maryann's special thank you to Dewey Lamb for once again bringing a car load (literally) of GREAT items for this year's auction. It is always fun to see the creative things he makes and how popular they are. Dewey - you're a prince. I real prince. I have to share a story I was told on Saturday night - two ladies were bidding on a box full of Dewey's items and the price was getting really high until one of them had to bow out. She was disappointed that she did not get the one thing in the box she wanted - the bottle of Colonel Harvey's Indian Elixor. At the hotel, she ran into the woman who she was frantically bidder against her later that morning and after talking about the auction, the women went back to her room, got the bottle and gave it to her as a gift. The Mayberry spirit is alive and well. Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/
Mayberry Days WBMUTBB Silent Auction
We are but weeks away from Mayberry Days and the WBMUTBB chapter's annual Silent Auction. This will be our 19th auction and your generosity over the years has made this a success. We have some new friends who have created some outstanding items for this year, so please stop by on Saturday morning in front of the Playhouse right after the parade. For the new WBMUTBB members, the Silent Auction is our chapter's annual community service project to support Mayberry Days. For many years, talented and creative members of WBMUTBB have been generous with donations of Mayberry related things for the auction - handmade items, memorabilia, autographed items, and special one-of-a-kind things that you can't buy in the stores. All donations are tax deductible. There are three ways to help - donating an item, donating your time, and bidding on auction items. Bidding is from 10 a.m. to Noon. If you have something to donate, would like to help, have a question, or just want more information, please send me an email. Remember it is most helpful to let me know in advance of any item your plan to donate so I can have a bid sheet ready. It is always fun seeing the great stuff people donate and spending time with our Mayberry community that Saturday and hope you will drop by. The current but far from complete list of items, along with some photos is at http://www.surryarts.org/mayberrydays/fun/silentauction.html.

Mayberry Quilt and donate one to the Silent Auction
I had a question about the quilt and possible auction. Would we be able to set it up so that those of us not fortunate enough to attend could still buy tickets and just pay shipping if we were lucky enough to win? Although I will probably be like Henry "The Jinx" Bennett and draw out the hat size, just thought it would open up the possibility of making a lot more money that way.

WBMUTBB Silent Auction 2017
Good news and a math error to report. I am pleased to announce that this year's total for the WBMUTBB Silent Auction was $3,935. I had an error in my new spreadsheet and double counted the cash, so the total reported at the TAGSRWC annual meeting was too high so my apologies for that. I will have to talk to Mr. Meldrim at the bank about using one of his machines next year! Many thanks to everyone who donated items, helped out and bid on Saturday. An extra thank you to Brian Rose for bringing the tent, to Scott Higgins for the help organizing on Friday night and of course, Dewey Lamb for another car load full of great items. The post-MD dust is still settling, but I'll get the donation forms and thank you letters out ASAP. Know that the money raised by our auction makes a significant difference to the Surry Arts Council and they are very appreciative of our support.

DVD at Silent Auction
OK...time to let everyone know. We made our trip to Mayberry, had a pork chop sandwich, visited a few stores and mainly Mayberry on Main to visit Debbie and Daryl but he wasn't aroundthen took our 'stuff' to the Arts Council for the auction. The one item you should all be bidding on is not the sequel but the REAL movie of The Killer Shrews, co-starring James Best and Ken Curtis,"Festus" who also directed this classic. It is an unopened DVD so whoever gets it will be the first one to watch it! This dates back to 1959 so just before TAGS started. Take some cash with you and help make this auction a huge success, and Jeff, let us know who gets it and how much...which I'll keep to myself!! Enjoy the Days, wish we could be with you! Carol and TheCameraNutt!!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.wbmutbb.com/

MD15 Silent Auction Report
Many thanks to all of the WBMUTBB members and friends who made this year's silent auction at Mayberry Days another successful event. The total this year was $3,703.25 (almost $500 more than last year). We had 94 items from 23 different WBMUTBB members who donated items and 11 volunteers, including a couple new ones who did great! I will be working to get the donation forms for your tax records and thank you letters out in the next week or so. A special thank you to Dewey Lamb who created 1/3 of the items available in this year's auction. He's a prince. A real prince. I appreciate all of you who stopped by to bid, visit and the fortunate ones who were able to take something memorable home. Our running total over 16 auction is up to $47,731.50 for SAC to host Mayberry Days, programs at the Andy Griffith Museum and other art programs in Andy Griffith's hometown. Keep a good thought for better weather next year when we can have it outside again. And keep a bucket on your head for donation ideas for MD16. It's BIG!

WBMUTBB Silent Auction
Mayberry Days is fast approaching so I thought I would post my annual reminder of our WBMUTBB Silent Auction during Mayberry Days. This is our chapter's annual service project during Mayberry Days that supports the Surry Arts Council. Many thanks to 15 years of generosity from our members who make donations of time, talents and fun Mayberry items. 100% of the proceeds go to SAC in support of Mayberry Days. We already have some great items donated and welcome more. We have great volunteers and would love to have more help out on the big Saturday, right after the parade, in front of the Andy Griffith Playhouse (or on the stage in case of rain) from 10a to Noon. If you have any questions or would like to help out this year in any way - Mayberry related donations, volunteering your time or bidding, please contact me at hey2goo...@yahoo.com. I look forward to another fun festival and great WBMUTBB silent auction this year. It's BIG! Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
MD14 WBMUTBB Silent Auction wrap up
The dust is settling on the 15th Annual WBMUTBB Silent Auction and I'm wrapping up the thank you letters and donation forms. A few fun trivial trivialities on this year's auction... - 28 different people contributed items or helped out on Saturday - They were from 13 different states: NC, SC, TN, IL, IN, VA, AL, WI, GA, CA, WV, OH FL - The most popular item had 16 bids - High bids ranged from $5 to $160 (historic high is still $625 for Don Knotts autographed squad car cookie jar) - The $3,214.50 this year brings the total raised from 15 auctions to $44,028.25 - Countless number of people placed a bid (well, I could count them, but I'm still tired from all the fun :) I tend to get a lot of credit for the silent auction, but this tells me there are so many others in our Mayberry Community that help make the auction successful. As members of WBMUTBB, know that the Surry Arts Council appreciates the support, both financially through our silent auction and in your participation at Mayberry Days. It is a unique festival, not without its challenges and struggles, but is a great opportunity for TAGS fans to celebrate together and it is fun for me to be a part of helping make it happen. If you have never attended the festival, I encourage you to go next year! Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Silent Auction
One of the items I am taking for the silent auction is an LP by Doug Dillard and Gene Clark. The photo appears to show a very young Doug. Don't know how old this is, but it should bring a good amount at the auction. If you are into Doug's playing, you surely want to bid on this item. It plays, and plays well. I played it one time, downloading it to my computer so I can listen any time I wish!! Happy Biddingand also, a couple of photo albums from YEARS ago of Mayberry Days, one of which has photos of Goober when he came to the Days!! All great photos taken by yours truly, and a treasure! Hope someone will enjoy them as much as we have! Welford TheCameraNutthis is our last hurrah!! Make it good!! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
WBMUTBB Silent Auction at Mayberry Days
We're coming up on the one month countdown to the 25th Mayberry Days festival. Our chapter's annual service project is the WBMUTBB Silent Auction. This will be our 15th auction! All of the proceeds benefit the Surry Arts Council's efforts to host Mayberry Days. The Silent Auction is held on Saturday of the festival in front of the Andy Griffith Playhouse.

If you do not feel creative, you can help prepare for and during the auction. It is only a couple hours and gives you a chance to visit with people and help out others - just like Mayberry! Bidding is from 10 a.m. to Noon. Remember you must be present at Noon to pay for your item and take home your treasures. If you have something to donate, would like to help, have a question, or just want more information, please send me an email (hey2goo...@yahoo.com).

Thanks / WBMUTBB Silent Auction Total
Thank you for the birthday wishes, Welford (and others). According to my records, in the 14 years our chapter has been holding the WBMUTBB Silent Auction, we have raised $40,813.75 for the Surry Arts Council to help with Mayberry Days. That represents 100% of what has been brought in because of the generous nature of our chapter members donating items and their time, as well as bidding on all the great stuff that is offered each year.

Silent Auction Update
Many thanks to everyone who supported the WBMUTBB Silent Auction on Saturday. This year's total was $2,507.50, all of which went to the Surry Arts Council for Mayberry Days. We had 113 items this year - actually a lot more than that, but we ran out of table space (a good problem to have). I held these items for next year's auction and look forward to our chapter's annual service project for the 25th annual Mayberry Days next year. Thanks to all of you who donated your time and talents plus all the bidding to make this another successful event. We will be getting out thank you letters and donation forms for tax records in the coming days and I'll share some other statistics on the Digest too.

Mayberry Days Silent Auction
Wow, Mayberry Days is next week and Neil and I are looking forward to being there. If you have never attended, it is like a big family reunion where everyone is friendly and knows exactly what you mean when you hear lines from the show. No explanation is needed as we all understand the common thread that runs among us. The Silent Auction that is sponsored by the WBMUTBB chapter, under the leadership of Jeff Koontz, is a great way to meet new friends and see ones that you haven't seen since last Mayberry Days. The proceeds from the wonderful items donated by members of our Mayberry Community and sometimes a few from some of the cast members, benefit the Surry Arts Council. This is a great way to add to your Mayberry Collection or buy a one of a kind gift for that special person, have fun and support a very worthy organization. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Mayberry Days! Pat Coleman ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberry Days Silent Auction
We are less than a month away from Mayberry Days! I thought I would share some statistics about our chapter's annual community service project - the WMBUTBB Silent Auction. The first year was 1999, so this will be our 14th event. During that time, we have raised $38,306.25 for the Surry Arts Council (SAC) to help make the festival come to life. That averages about $3,000 per year and shows that WBMUTBB members care about Mayberry Days and want to help out, as well as come and enjoy the fun in Mount Airy. I hope you will consider being a part of this success. We have had some great volunteers and donations over the years and welcome the help with on auction on the big Saturday, right after the parade, in front of the Andy Griffith Playhouse (or on the stage in case of rain) from 10a to Noon. A few interesting things to know... - 100% of the money goes to SAC for Mayberry Days - this is all done by WBMUTBB members who volunteer their time and talents - The money helped SAC bring in more cast members than the earlier years and continue to bring favorite cast members back, year after year. - At least one new cast member, writer, or director has been able to attend each year - The auction is over in about 2 hours, but helps creates almost 96 hours of fun (4 days x 24 hrs if you don't sleep!) - Helps pay for http://www.mayberrdays.com and online ticket sales - WBMUTBB members are always the first group to know about MD updates and early ticket sales - Mayberry Days impacts the lives of 20-25,000 TAGS fans each year - it is like a big family reunion for both the cast members and the fans - Supporting the WBMUTBB Silent Auction helps make all this happen If you have any questions or would like to help out this year in any way - Mayberry related donations, volunteering your time or bidding, please contact me at hey2goo...@yahoo.com. I look forward to another fun festival and great WMBUTBB silent auction this year. It's BIG! Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
WBMUTBB, Mayberry days and the Silent Auction
Mayberry Days 2013 is almost here and Joyce and I are so looking forward to being there. This will be our 18th straight year to attend, and God willing, we’ll be able to keep going year after year. MDs is an experience like none other and one that every fan of The Andy Griffith Show would thoroughly enjoy. We’re also looking forward to another successful year at the WBMUTBB silent auction. Little did we know when we (WBMUTBB Chapter) first started the auction that it would so successful that it would enable more TAGS stars to attend each year. Some of our favorite MD treasures came from the auction and are things we would have not had the opportunity to find elsewhere. We hope to find some new treasures this year. Being an auction volunteer has given us the chance to meet lots of TAGS fans, many of which are now our friends. In fact, some of the fans that we always seem to be bidding against are now much more than just friends, they are family. For me, Mayberry Days is really a family reunion and once you start attending, you’re part of the clan.

Do yo have more information on the Surry Art Council? Mayberry Days is the biggest event that the Surry Arts Council has each year, but their calendar is full each month with community theatre, touring artists, concerts, school programs, arts classes, movies, traditional music and dances and a lot more. Please visit their website at http://www.surryarts.org/ to see their upcoming calendar, along with many archived photos from events of the past years. SAC also operates the Andy Griffith Museum, Siamese Twins Exhibit, and Old-Time Music Heritage Hall at the Earle Theatre. Links to all these sites are on the SAC home page.

While strollin' thru the woods a day or 3 ago I decided I needed to go into town fer a change, so come back to the cabin and cranked up the ol' puddle jumper and away I went. Stopped in one a'them stores what sells stuff don't nobody want but somebody else might and I found a VHS tape of the Bio-graphy of Andy G. I don't need it but thunk someone might oughta have it so paid a whoppingHmmmph!! Ain't a'gonna tell ya what I paid fer it!! Then a few days later I come across a DVD of Song For The Season with Andy, Gerald McRaney and Naomi Judd. Whut I was sayin' is, I don't need 'em but will donate 'em to the silent auction come Mayberry Days. Hopefully someone will pay a little sumpin' fer 'em and help along the Surry Arts Council. Oh...almost fergot to tell ya...the VHS Biography is still sealed in its original plastic wropper.

The sun was up enough to make 'em glisten like diamonds and what a great reminder of how little I can control this old world!! Almighty God put on a display I was mighty proud to take a look at!

Mayberry Days - WBMUTBB Silent Auction Results
Despite the wet weather on Saturday morning, the WBMUTBB Silent Auction at Mayberry Days this past weekend was another successful event thanks to so many of you who helped out. Our total this year was $4,162.50! We had some great items again this year and more importantly, new people helping and donating items for the auction. All the proceeds go to the Surry Arts Council (they 'preciate it) to help put on the festival and support their many arts programs throughout the year. I'm still in bit of a haze from all the fun last week and have to get thank you letters and donation forms out, but once the dust settles I'll post some thoughts and observations on this year's festival. Photographs from the various events should be on the website within a week - I'll post to the Digest when it is available. It's BIG!

Mayberry Days Silent Auction
If some of you would like to donate to the silent auction, but don't know what, I will ask for help on a couple items that we need: - 2 black 8x10 frames for autographed photos (Jean Carson and Michael Pollard) - mounting for 2 posters at Tally's Frame Shop in Mount Airy The frames can be purchased in Mount Airy (Wal Mart or Dollar General) or brought with you. Tally's is on Main Street does a great job of mounting posters on foam board and shrinkwraps them for safe keeping. It probably is about $10 per poster. I have the posters and will take them to Tally's and can make arrangements with you for payment if you'd like to pick up the tab to make something nice even nicer! Please email me at hey2goo...@yahoo.com if you would like to help with any of these. One poster is the TV Land Andy Opie Statue from 2003 in Raleigh and the other is a poster Gary Wedemeyer created in 2004 and is autographed by all the special guests that year, including all of The Dillards. We've got some great items donated and I'm working on a webpage on the Mayberry Days website to include photos and the list of items. If you have something Mayberry you would like to donate or can help out on Saturday, please contact me. It's BIG!

Mayberry Days Silent Auction
Mayberry Days will be here soon, so I will ask everyone to remember (or introduce to our new members) our chapter's annual community service project - WBMUTBB Silent Auction on the Saturday of Mayberry Days. This will be our 13th year! Members donate Mayberry items and create some great things that you can't find in the store. It has been a very successful fund raiser for the Surry Arts Council to host the festival each year and showcase the generous talent that our TAGSRWC Chapter has. If you have something you would like to include in the auction, can help on Saturday right after the parade, or have any questions, please email me at hey2goo...@yahoo.com. Be sure to stop by the tables in front of the Andy Griffith Playhouse, say hey to your fellow Digest members, help the cause with a bid and take home something fun for your Mayberry collection. I'll post some of the items that have been donated - another batch of great stuff this year thanks to WBMUTBB members! Jeff p.s. On Friday afternoon we have a meet and greet and annual Chapter photo - up on the hill behind the Blackmon Amphitheatre after trivia (around 5:30 pm). ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
WBMUTBB Silent Auction Results
This year's WBMUTBB Silent Auction was one of the most successful in many years, raising $4,463.50 for the Surry Arts Council (we had some add'l money come in after my report at the TAGSRWC money). Many thanks to all of you who helped out with donations, bidding, and working during the auction. It is a community effort and I appreciate all the help that I get. The Surry Arts Council appreciates the financial support that our chapter provides with our project and there were a lot of happy faces on the folks who were high bidders and took home some great things on Saturday. We had a number of donations already come in for next year, so we'll do it again in 2012! The post-Mayberry Days dust is still settling in Mount Airy and I will post a link to the festival photos once I get them online. I've already seen some great photos on Facebook from Allan and Jan and others, so be sure to look at those and make plans to attend next year. It's BIG!

WBMUTBB Silent Auction Update
A few more folks have donated some great items for the WBMUTBB Silent Auction - a sweat jacket embroidered with Act Like Somebody, autographed photos, and one of Hal Smith's special lighters, with accompanying photos. I'll put in another request for some supplemental items (that can be purchased in Mount Airy if you don't want to travel with them): - Uniquely shaped bottle with tight seal for Meyers Lake water (no label) - Five black frames for 8x10 photos - orange blue items to put inside Mayberry glassware (marbles? confetti? MMs? ribbons?) - A small live plant to put inside a special TAGS mug Please email me at hey2goo...@yahoo.com if you are willing to donate any of these for the auction. We also need help during auction - it is easy and a fun chance to visit with folks and support our chapter and the Surry Arts Council. Please email if you can help. It's BIG!

WBMUTBB Silent Auction Update
Things are coming together for the Silent Auction, our annual chapter service project during Mayberry Days. Dewey has been busy making another batch of great things and folks have been collecting various items. There is always room for more, so put a bucket on your head and if you can come up with a good idea for a donation, be sure to let me know so I can make bid sheets. We've got a few things that need a little extra if someone would be willing to provide them: Uniquely shaped bottle with tight seal for Meyers Lake water (no label) three black frames for 8x10 photos orange blue items to put inside Mayberry glassware (marbles? confetti?

Mayberry Days - WBMUTBB Silent Auction
Just to give you a heads up, I have two Andy Griffith records I am donating to the silent auction, unless I forget and leave them home!! Thanks Welford! Mayberry Days will be here before we know it, so I'll introduce to our new members and remind the rest of us about the WBMUTBB Silent Auction. This is the annual service project of our internet chapter that is fund raising event to benefit the Surry Arts Council's efforts to host Mayberry Days. The Silent Auction is held on Saturday of the festival from 10:00 a.m. to Noon in front of the Andy Griffith Playhouse. For 12 years, talented and creative members of our chapter have donated Mayberry related things to the auction - handmade items, memorabilia, autographed items, and special one-of-a-kind things that you can't find in the stores. We have inventoried some nice items to date and welcome more. Donated items are tax deductible as a donation to a non-profit organization and all the proceeds go to the Surry Arts Council. There are three ways to help - donating an item, donating your time, and bidding on auction items. If you do not feel creative, you can help prepare for and during the auction. It is only a couple hours and gives you a chance to visit with people and help out others - just like Mayberry! Bidding is from 10 a.m. to Noon and you must be present at the end to claim and pay for your item. If you have something to donate, have a question, or want more specific information, please send me an email. I thank each of you who have helped in the previous years and hope you will be able to help again. Even more I encourage others to get involved as well. This is a fun way to help and get to know fellow Digest members in person.It's Big!

Mayberry Days Silent Auction
Thank you to everyone who participated this year in our annual chapter service project. We raised $2516.50 this year for the Surry Arts Council in support of Mayberry Days this year and into the future. The auction box in the Playhouse closet is not empty, so we will plan to do it again next year. Keep a bucket handy for thinking up more great Mayberry items for 2011!

Mayberry Days Silent Auction update
Things are coming together nicely for the WBMUTBB Silent Auction. Two of our regulars will be unable to be there on Saturday this year, so please consider helping us out. We have a large number of items so could use some extra hands (not Mr. McBeevee's 12 extra hands, but good volunteers). Remember that you can also bid if you are helping out, so don't let that deter you. You also do not need to be there for the full time. WBMUTBB member Dewey Lamb has made some great items and sent me photos that I have on a new Mayberry Days WBMUTBB Silent Auction page. The page also lists most all of the items we'll have for bid this year. http://www.surryarts.org/mayberrydays/mdauction.html It's BIG!

Mayberry Days Silent Auction
I concur with JeffThe Silent Auction is AWESOME. So many cool things that everyone should see and bid for to add to their TAGS related collection. And the chickent thief here has gone and made a hand-made, very unusual item to donate (It's actually in the glued stage right now and just perfect for your coffee table.) Also, Jeff, I wish to donate my time manning one of the tables. I don't want to man the table with my item on it - I might try to influence the bidders and if there's one thing I hate it is a pushy salesman. I'd rather be surprised after the auction to see what it draws in bids. And donating your time helping the auction will give you the chance to chat with folks and get faces to go with names you see here on the Digest. I had so much fun last year watching the crowds - especialy those hovering around waiting to up their antes when their bid was increased - they'd rush back over and up the bid again. Let's make this special Mayberry Days even more special and raise more $ than past years. The Surry Arts Council works so hard to put on a great weekend, the least we can do is volunteer our time. So what do you say, folks? Let's make this year the top dollar year. And no, my donated item is not for chickens but could be a very special item for whatnots.

WBMUTBB Silent Auction - Thanks!
We had another successful auction during Mayberry Days and raised $1866.50 on a soggy Saturday morning. Thank you to everyone who donated, bid, and helped out. A special thanks to Harriet Browder for jumping in to answer questions and keep the bids going until the end and to Dewey Lamb for creating some of the best items we've had in the 10 years of having our chapter service project. We have items for next year already waiting to go, so plan now for next year! Jeff ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Mayberry Days Silent Auction
You can't ruin the spirit of Mayberry with any Mafia rain..Thanks, Jeff. Glad to help. The Silent Auction is a wonderful way to meet other Digest folks besides raising funds for the Surry Arts Council, so even if you're not bidding, stop by and see what's offered. And say hey to whoever you're lucky to be standing next to! Years ago I donated a Barney Album I made, the kind you cover with material and decorate? I made Barney's front shirt, complete with patch on the spine, badge, and bullet in the pocket. It raised a goodly sum, and I got a request to make another one. See? You never know what might come from a Maberry Silent Auction. We've got a whole year to get creative. Homemade items do extremely well.

A damp, but still great Mayberry Days this year. We had to move the Silent Auction inside due to the weather, but still had a very successful event, raising $2542 for the Surry Arts Council. Many thanks to everyone who donated items, helped during the auction, and bid on the items. We'll plan to have another auction during next year's festival and hope it is bigger and better than ever!
