HERE ARE THE SILENT AUCTION ITEMS

at Wetstock IV. If you've never seen a silent auction, it works this way. We put the items out on a table, and we have a sheet of paper next to each item. Anyone who wants to bid just has to write their name on the piece of paper with their bid price next to their name. At random times during the day, we'll pick up a sheet of paper and announce the winner of that item. The high bidder then makes a donation to <A HREF="http://www.avonwalk.org/site/TR?pg=personal&fr_id=1045&px=1276050">Cindy's Walk</A> and goes home with the prize.
So here's what we've got so far. And thanks to the generous donors!
------------
This is from the Burton family. We lost my mom and an aunt to Breast Cancer, so we thought we would try to help out a little more.
You and 10 of your friends can enjoy a VIP Wing Party at Hooters. This is good for any Hooters in the country, and here's what you get:
All the wings you can eat plus blue cheese, celery, and soft drinks.
Estimated value is $100, but can you but a value on having a good time with family and friends?
My nephew manages the Hooters in Baltimore's Inner Harbor in the Light Street Pavilion. The Inner Harbor would be a great stop Friday night for everyone.
