2007 Charities

Themed Basket Auction - Winter & Spring, 2007

We are taking silent bids on themed baskets provided by each Chapter. They were on display at the Rock-a-thon, and each Chapter's basket is to be awarded to the highest bidder on their own Inspection night. So, the last date to bid on a Chapter's basket will be the date of their Inspection and that basket will go to the high bidder as of that date.

So bid early if you really want either Cardinal, Dorcas or Hoffner's basket.

Below are pictures and a brief description of each basket, people can bid on baskets prior to the Inspections via email to our Charities Director, Libbey Macke . Each person is only eligible to be the high bidder on one and only one basket.

Here are the baskets, in order by Inspection date. Click on any picture for a large image.

February 23 - from Charities Director Libbey Macke:

No person may take home more than one basket. If a person has the high bid on more than one basket, they will receive the first basket they have the high bid on and then their high bid will be withdrawn from the other baskets.
