Need Silent Auction
Baskets Items
We are still in need of donations
for our Silent Auction Baskets. We will be raffling off these
baskets at our upcoming VJO Meet on Sept 27-29. This can be a big
fundraiser for our team, but we are still in need of a
Starbucks gift card, kids’ toys, swimming items, cooking
items, BBQ items, wine items, and other gift cards.
Please feel free to create your own basket. We ask that you turn in
all Silent Auction donations to the “Silent Auction
Bin” on the table, next to the Shark Tank. Sarah
Chavez, our Silent Auction Coordinator, will be collecting items
out of the bin daily. If you have any question please contact
Sarah Chavez at [email protected].
