<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings everyone!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This year, at White Shield, the Barony of Darkwood
will hold not one, but TWO auctions to raise money for baronial
events.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Starting at 12 Noon, our Annual <STRONG>Silent
Auction</STRONG> will run until 8:30 p.m. Need ideas for contributions to
the auction? Anything you think could be used by another SCA person for an
SCA event or activity. Garb, feast gear, camping gear, armor, sewing
machines, fabric, leatherworking supplies, calligraphy/scribal supplies,
needleworking supplies, shoes, pouches, books, food, Page School supplies,
etc. We also are in need of clothing racks and hangers to display the
garb.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then that evening we will hold a <STRONG>Live
Auction</STRONG> during the feast. Since we will only auction off
8-to-10 items, we're looking for things that are handmade or not easily
available. As part of this auction, we would like each of the cantons to
make a presentation of a "basket" or "box" full of handmade goodies
for the Live Auction. If each canton desires to present one major
handmade item instead of a basket or box of goodies...that's OK too!
Let your imagination run wild! Be creative!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
