Art,

We definitely want/need/accept items for the silent auction! The Silent Auction raises funds to provide scholarships to people who want to come to the Getaway but need help with the cost. Many of us, myself included, have been recipients of full or partial scholarships in the past.

Items range from jars of jelly, song books, cd's (of your own music OR used cd's that are ready for a new home), shawls, musical instruments, notecards, craft items, 'junque', anything large or small that you would like to contribute and that you hope someone might be inclined to bid on.

Surely this is the year a jimmyt thong will be a featured item in the auction?

Rita, Carly, Nancy, Mary, couldone of you chime in and talk a little about the origin of the fund, the the devoted FSGW members it memorializes?
