For part of our yearly fundraiser, we will be doing Live Auction at our annual meeting in August in Waycross. These funds are used to support the organization and to provide scholarships.
We are requesting that each district donate at least six items (or more) for the live auction including a district themed basket – the items for the basket should reflect your geographic location ad be from your county if possible (it’s okay if the items aren’t) – suggestions include wine, honey, gift certificates, gift cards, tours for local wineries or other businesses, charcuterie boards, UGA branded items, etc. Each district director will be responsible for collecting the items and getting the baskets to the conference –
if you are a district director and are not planning to attend, please designate a person – like your Junior Director. For the other five items per district, we recommend that agents go together as a group to purchase or seek donations – we ask that each item or set of items be valued at $75 or more, some suggestions include:
Themed baskets (like the district ones)
Sets – like matching purse, wallet, makeup bag set or a set related to cooking, grilling, sports, etc. or a holiday themed set or a tailgating set – you get the idea!
Baked goods or gift certificates to be redeemed at a bakery or location that sells baked goods – these always do well!
Weekend trips
Tickets to sporting events
Tickets to a winery or other local business with a gift basket of products included
Art work
Yard art
Plants
Thank you in advance for your generous support of our amazing professional organization.
We will not be doing a silent auction this year, but we will be doing a t-shirt sale – long and short sleeve choices – more information coming on those soon!
