Anything & Everything Auction

Tuesday, March 26, 2025
Doing that spring cleaning? Working on your decluttering? All those things that you no longer need but are too good to throw away? Bring all those treasures to the 2025 Anything and Everything Auction. We love buying each other’s good stuff!!!
We ask that everyone who attends bring one or two items to be auctioned.
• All those garden tools and knick-knacks you no longer need or want.
• Herb & spice plants (in pretty pots!), herb crafts or artwork.
• Decorative items that relate to the garden, or to food, or are just plain cute. 
• Baked goods - herbal or otherwise
• Jams, jellies, chutneys, etc
• Herbal soaps or bath bombs or bath oils.
• Scented candles
You get the idea. You can set a minimum price or say something special about your item by taping a note on the item. This helps the auctioneers drum up interest & get the best price.
TIME TABLE
1. 5:00pm Doors open (come to help set up). Donations are set out on tables.
2. 7:00pm Auction starts & continues until about 8:30pm 
3. At end Pay Treasurer (Mary) for what you’ve won 
4. Help tidy up the auditorium
5. Go home with your new finds — delighted with a really fun evening!

TASTING TABLE: Bring Irish treats - your green-frosted baked goods are especially tasty.

Greetings, all,
There was lots of talk at the Board meeting this month about getting ready for this year‘s Anything and Everything Auction. Those of you on the  email list should have already received a heads up announcement to prepare for this event by figuring out what you will contribute.
Don‘t forget to bring some cash or a check to pay for whatever you bid on. “Anything and Everything“ may be something edible or it may be something growing (or grown), or it may be something sweet-scented, or something lovely for the skin, or some kind of still-useful tool, Or a book, or a knick-knack, or a piece of art. Whatever kind of thing it is that you make or have at home, bring it. Please make certain that any liquids or powders are tightly sealed to prevent spills. Please don‘t use a container that you need to have returned.
One or more of you may have attended the Florida Herbal Conference March 1 - March 2. If you attended, we would love to have a write-up of your experience there. In fact, if more than one of you would like to contribute thoughts on this event, I‘m sure we can find space in the newsletter.
In April we are planning to take part in the Mounts Spring Plant-a-Palooza, to raise funds
