Silent Auction and Raffle
The silent auction and raffle are fundraisers for two conference scholarships and mini-grants for oral history projects. Please bring items or send them ahead to Jennifer Albin. Contact Jennifer at jalbin@asu.edu for more information. Some of the biggest money raisers have been services such as your house as a bed and breakfast for an overnight or a weekend. Are you a good cook? – provide a dinner. You may deduct your expenses. Popular items in past years have been jewelry, clothes, posters, oral history books, art work, stationary, and historical maps. Here is a chance to let someone else enjoy that gift which does not suit you. Generally, highest value items go in the silent auction, smaller items in the raffle. Please download forms for the raffle and silent auction and send or bring them with the items. |
