A message from Val from sweetlife, WGA campout silent auction coordinator:
Each year it takes hundreds of man hours and money to put on WGA events.
We rely mainly on sales of merchandise at our events to make ends meet.
Attend a WGA event and you’ll notice all the great activities planned, pavilion rentals, door prize giveaways, and hot grills ready for lunch. All these things are possible thanks to the support of you!
With the cost of merchandise going up and the WGA trying to keep the prices reasonable, the ends are not meeting up.
This year at the spring campout we are going to include as part of the daily events a silent auction on Saturday with proceeds to go to event expenses and the WGA operating budget.
This is a fun and voluntary way for attendees to contribute to the WGA. Do you knit? Make quilts? Are you famous for cache containers? What about woodworking or other handcrafts? What about those extra geocoins and pathtags?
This is your chance to show off and help our great association in the process. We will be accepting donations up until the start of the Silent Auction, Saturday morning.
Bring your items to donate to the event or if you are not attending you can mail them to us. If you have items to donate, PLEASE, send me an email or contact any other Board Member with the item description (and a picture if possible) so they can get it logged into the database.
Please consider making a donation to the WGA spring auction, even if you are not able to attend!
Please let me know if you are donating as soon as possible.
We will start a forum for the Spring Campout Auction items. We will post all the donated items so everyone can see all the great stuff that will be up for auction. The drop off area will be near check in at the pavilion.
Contact me at [email protected] if you have questions.
