Get ready to bid!  Hope’s Silent Auction will begin on Sunday, February 21st  and run through Sunday, March 28th.  Every member is encouraged to    participate by donating and bidding.  There is a donation form  included in this newsletter for your convenience.  This year the Trustees are asking you to think about the GIFTS YOU HAVE TO SHARE.  What skill do you have that others may want? 

    *Great at organizing?  Offer to organize someone’s home or office…
    *Like to paint?  Offer to paint a room…
    *Handy with tools?  Offer to be someone’s handyman for a day…
    *Good at sewing?  Offer to do some mending…

  You get the idea!  Of course, the ever-popular group meals and gatherings are always welcome, along with any new items you have, but do not want or need.  Please make sure to write down the value of your gift or items, so the Trustees can come up with appropriate beginning bids (all beginning bids will be determined by the Trustees). Be creative!! Please bring your donations to Hope no later than February 21st.
