Discussion followed about going to Wal-Mart for a day or weekend. It was decided if we can sign-up volunteers to assist this project and there is a day we can sell at Wal-Mart, then we will sell tickets. E. Silent Auction: Kathy Beebe and Cindy Roux are currently working on the online ‘silent’ auction. They want us all to watch the site and see what is collected to sell. Some items need to be collected to display. This fundraising activity should attract buyers. This will be like a mini (eBay type) auction. We now have a way to perhaps earn more money. If anyone is interested or if we have some wives to help, we will be able to get this underway! Call Kathy or Cindy for more information. E. Bottles and Cans: We have over $80 in the account so far this week, it was reported. There are more bags that were dropped off at the meeting for the girls this evening.
