Holiday Leftovers?

Earlier this week, I saw a great Facebook post from one of my customers, inviting her friends and followers to contribute "duplicate" gifts from the holiday season to their fundraising auction.  What a great idea - I just stole it and emailed the RGMS parent list with this:

--------------------

Hello fellow RGMS parents,

You'll hear much more about this in the weeks to come, but this spring (April 8th to be exact) the RGMS Foundation and PTA will be hosting a fabulous, fun, fundraising auction, to raise money for  new computers and arts education at our school.

There are ample opportunities to help, but for the moment, I want to point out that any holiday gifts that you received that 

a) don't match your home decor, 

b) are duplicates of cool things your kids (or you!) already had one of, or 

c) are designed to encourage you to pursue pursuits you are no longer physically up for (as with me and those rollerblades a few years back) 

might make lovely items to include in our silent auction. (New stuff only, please - and no fruitcakes, please!)

So while you have your computer booted, and are thinking about this, click here:

...and let us know what you can contribute to the cause.  

Thanks!
