Kelly, I'm interested in what types of things are usually raffled off at
the conferences. Thanks, HeidiC.

Last year we had lots of games and books and a few handmade items: felted
hats (Marji & Ren each got one---they were beautiful!) and one one Anne's felted
pouches. Christian Thee donated one of his signed posters from Spoleto. A
$200 gift certificate from a local photogragher. Sandra donated the original
puzzle for "Learning on a Truck" and a copy of her David Bowie letter. We had
make-up kits and puppets and bags and t-shirts and jewelry and workbooks.

Anything goes! The way we do it is to put a bag for each item, so you win
only what you want. $1/ticket, $3/5, $10/20 or $20/armslength
(wingspan)---anybody's arms (Look for a really tall, long-armed, big chested man! <g> Tuck's
husband was popular last year! ).

This year---so far---in my hot little hands, we have the lovely quilts & bags
from Pam G, a silver bracelet from Rue, a backpack, some Usborne workbooks
(thanks, Amy!), a John Holt book, another silver bracelet from Sante Fe, a tea
pot, and a puzzle. Some folks have told me they're bringing other things---but
that's what I have now in my dining room/conference office.

Really, almost anything goes. The most popular things last year---among the
adults--- were the books and handmade items. The kids liked the games and magic
cards & figures (I put in $40 in for one of the magic card sets---which we
won, but I could have *bought* it for $20!)

Things don't have to be expensive or elaborate---just fun and *desirable*!

Thanks to everyone that donates an item!

So to donate items, do we mail them to you or just bring them to the
conference? Is there a deadline for when you need them by? I'd love to
contribute! HeidiC.

How about one of Will's handmade birdhouses? He made 4 or 5 to sell to raise
money to buy his drumset, when he was 7. Three of them did not sell at the
venues he chose to sell them, and we just ran across them in storage today. If
you want one, I'll ask him if he's willing to donate it.
