If you missed it last year, you may not know how the bidding went for the garter belt. Who ended up with it, anyway??? When you are trying to think of “good stuff” to offer, let your imagination inspire you to create a new service or idea. Try to complete your obligations or make use of the purchased services from last year. Mark your calendar now, and save your stuff. Let auctioneer Peter Landecker know (preferably in advance) of what goods or services you wish to offer. This year’s auction will be held at John and Carol Simpson’s home in Redondo Beach. Bring finger food snacks to share. Some beverages will be provided, but B.Y.O.B. If you have a question, call.
