Auction Items Needed  (print Auction letter)

We need your help gathering items for our silent auction. Held at the annual conference, this event has raised thousands of dollars, and helps keep Oley programs free for you!

Need ideas? Items donated in recent years include things created by Oley members (quilts, photos, paintings, scarves, afghans); electronics (MP3 players, radios, televisions, laptops); gift certificates and baskets; certificates for travel opportunities (time-share units, vacation packages, airfare); tickets to sporting events, concerts, and tourist attractions; DVDs and CDs, games, etc. The possibilities are endless! We have an excellent letter available that describes Oley and the auction if you need help appealing to local vendors, businesses, friends, or family for donations. Call us and we’ll send you copies.

Items can be brought to the Oley registration desk at the conference on Tuesday morning or mailed to the Trade Winds Island Resort (Island Grand Beach Resort, 5500 Gulf Blvd., St. Pete Beach, FL 33706), c/o Guest, Joan Bishop, to arrive on June 24 or 25. Please keep in mind that many conference attendees will be traveling by plane, and may have limited space in their luggage.
