Silent Auction In Motion!

Hello friends, business owners, whoever may be reading this!

Today was phenomenal!  Lindsey and I ran all around downtown going into local businesses and chatting with owners/employees about the silent auction.  The response was overwhelmingly positive in numbers of business owners who donated to the auction or said they would donate when the dates were set for the auction.  So, ladies & gentlemen, looks like we've got ourselves a silent auction to put on!

Now the challenge is this - find ways to promote the auction, and find more businesses willing to donate items to the auction.  A man we ran into at Bellatazza downtown said something that stuck with me - in the wake of an economic meltdown, many people have been humbled, and are likely to have gained more empathy and desire to do something good for somebody in their community that is in need.  What a great thought to have in mind while taking baby steps toward this auction!

On that note, anybody reading this that has ideas, concepts, or even concerns about the silent auction - please contact me!  If you know of a business that would support our auction, talk to the owner.  If you own a business and would like to support Dan's auction, please contact me (Sydney) at 541-410-6606 or simply via this blog.  If you have ideas of possible auction venues, don't hesitate to share them!  If you have connections in the community that could help with getting the word out about the auction, use them!  The more people the word reaches the better.

I'm excited to see what we can do!  Thanks for reading everyone :)
