Sharing Your Treasures: Donations for the
Auction are Still Being Accepted!
We've already received many, many great items for
the live and silent portions of the auction, but we need more, and it's not too late!
Maybe your hairdresser would be willing to give us
a gift certificate. Or your best friend is an artist who would be supportive. Or the store
where you shop would be willing to donate an item. Or your neighbor owns a jewelry store.
Or maybe you have a piece of art that just doesn't fit with your decor and you might want
to donate it to TIHAN. The range of auction
items is vast: objects d'art and collectibles of value, such artistic endeavors as
paintings, ceramics, silver/gold jewelry, glass art, gift certificates for restaurant
dining, various services including health services (such as massage, dental services),
legal services, tickets to theater or sports events, tickets for airline travel, or stays
at a desirable hotel or resort.
We're seeking items valued at $50 and above.
Donations we receive by February 19th will be acknowledged in a special insert in the
printed program. To donate an item and share your treasure, call 975 -0378.
Be Part of the Success!
