Silent Auction

We’re holding a silent auction for a member and her DH who was recently shot in the line of duty. He is expected to make a full recovery. Thank goodness!

Many, many members have expressed a desire to help out in some way. If you’d like to help out by donating an item for the auction, please email Helen at hallienoves@gmail.com with a short description and at least one photo of the item. Please email Helen by Saturday, June 12. The auction will begin Monday morning, June 14, on the NPWA blog, npwablog.blogspot.com. Look for more information soon and please pass the word about the auction!

The details...
What kind of items can be donated?
Any new or gently used item that you would consider giving as a gift to a loved one. Examples include, but are not limited to: quilts, aprons, hand-made crafts, art, stationery, books, jewelry, gift cards etc.

How Donating Works
Once you've chosen something for participants to bid on, take a picture of the item(s). You keep the donation at this point. After emailing me, hallienoves@gmail.com, the pictures, I will post them on the auction site for people to bid on. The winning bidder will email me with a receipt of their payment to NPWA. Then I will put the bidder in contact with you so you may ship your donation to him/her.

Is My Donation Tax Deductible?
Yes! I will provide you with a donation receipt you may keep for tax purposes. You may include the value of your donation, as well as cost of shipping to the buyer.

If you don't mind, I'm just going to copy and paste the entire post into my blog so nothing is misinterpreted.
