Get Creative with Silent Auction Donation Items

Do you have a delicious local delicacy or a favorite gardening tool? 
Are you an artist with a unique masterpiece?
Do you have a vacation home a fellow Master Gardener could enjoy?
Are you a crafter that loves to build birdhouses or design fairy gardens?

Get creative, have fun and help support a program you love!

Please consider donating items for the 2014 UC Master Gardener Conference silent auction. The silent auction is a unique opportunity to raise funds that help offset costs and provide scholarships for attendees at future UC Master Gardener conferences.

“Growing Together” is the theme of this year's conference and can be incorporated into a variety of exciting donation ideas, including a county basket.

Donating silent auction items is easy

Work with your coordinator and designate a member in your county responsible for collecting donation(s), forward contact information to Marcia Rosenberg, silent auction coordinator. Once you have determined the items your county will donate (recommended minimum value $50 ) - download the Silent Auction application and return no later than August 1, 2014.
