We're down to a month before Mayberry Days, so I'm late to remind everyone and tell the new members about the WBMUTBB Silent Auction. This is an annual service project of our chapter that is fund raising event to benefit the Surry Arts Council's efforts to put on the big weekend. The Silent Auction is held on Saturday of the festival at 10:00 a.m. to Noon in front of the Andy Griffith Playhouse.
Through the years, wonderfully 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 arent sold in stores. Weve already got a number of great items including original artwork and other unique items and we certainly welcome more. Donated items are tax deductible as a donation to a non-profit organization. There are three ways to help donating an item, donating your time, and bidding on auction items. If you dont feel creative, you can help during the auction setting up things on the table, keeping track of bid sheets, and answering questions. It is only a couple hours and gives you a chance to visit with folks and help out others just like Mayberry. If you have something to donate, need to ask a question or want more specific information, send me an email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thank each of you who have helped in previous years and hope you will be able to help again and encourage others to get involved as well. There are so many wonderful people who have helped out over the years and this has far exceeded our expectations, so I say thank you for your creativity and generosity and I look forward to another successful festival with your help. To others who are interested in getting more involved, I encourage you to join the fun on our annual service project. Jeff http://www.surryarts.org --------------------------------- Need a vacation?
