Its Time to Donate the Good Stuff!

Next Up in the Auction: Your Contribution!

The festival website highlights some beautiful quilts that have come in for this year’s auction, along with some other great donations:

• Lodging at Silver Surf Motel in Yachats, Ore.
  
• Doll crib constructed by Jerry Barkman, complete with miniature quilt and pillow
  
• Nike Fuelband, to help make exercising fun
  
• Musical instruments including a baby grand piano and Sigma guitar
  
• 1981 17-ft. Beechcraft boat and trailer 
  
•  Commemorative silver coins from the 25th anniversary of the Ohio Mennonite Relief Sale
  
• Furniture, antiques and collectibles
  

If volunteers are the heart of the Festival for World Relief, generous donors of auction items are its backbone: the quality of auction items makes all the difference in our fundraising success. And auction donations are tax-deductible!

What might you give this year? 

Top sellers include vacation packages, tickets to cultural or sporting events, and fishing trips. If it’s something you’d love to bid on, chances are others will, too! Consider joining with friends or family members to help share the cost of a great item. For ideas, contact Tim Steiner. ■
