RMGDRI Appreciation Picnic & Silent Auction

RMGDRI's annual picnic will be Saturday, July 17th. This is always a fun event, with tons of great food... info booths and vendors... contests and prizes... and a BIG silent auction to raise funds that enable RMGDRI to continue to rescue and re-home the big dogs we all love.

 
The auction is one of the Rescue's largest fundraisers of the year -- but it cannot be a success without lots of auction items that will encourage vigorous bidding.

 
Here are some suggestions, based on what has sold particularly well at past events:
  • Dinners for two/restaurant gift certificates
  • Hand-crafted items -- beaded jewelry, felted purses, etc.
  • Artwork, especially Dane-related art
  • Themed gift baskets: Margarita Party, BBQ, Tastes of Italy, Girls-Night-In Martini Party, etc.
  • Experiences: Ticket to a Rockies game, movie passes, Elitch's tickets, etc.
  • And of course, anything dog-related -- gift certificates for doggie daycare, toy and treat collections, etc.
Please contact Coleen Truax, Silent Auction Coordinator, if you are interested in contributing to the success of this fundrasier by personally donating and/or soliciting auction items..
