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.
Through the 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. 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 your item. If you have something to donate, have a question, or want more specific information, please send me an email at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thank each of you who have helped in the previous eight 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.
