wrote: Barbara, I felt the same way when Cheryl pointed out the BC auction on JustBeads. As a survivor and a frequent contributor to the S.G. Komen Foundation I would have loved to make something and contribute in that manner. Instead I've asked for a very nice birthday present and have a bid on Cheryl's beads. So my dear, what is stopping any of us from doing similar next year? I'd be willing to contribute, host and advertise or just contribute. Cheryl???? A couple years back, a bunch of us on rec.crafts.professional (back when the group was still active........) got off on a sock monkey tangent while discussion the sludge that finds its way into "fine art shows". We ended up with a sock money make from the wool spun and knitted by one member. Another made her dress (we named the monkey Thessolonia Monk), a couple of us made jewelry for her (that would also fit her purchaser). Someone else made a chair for her to sit in, another person a box for her to travel in. Someone else painted the inside of the box with a fireplace, etc. In short, we all went nuts. We had a ball. She was auctioned off at BMAC for CERF. The only problem was that it was too much stuff in one place! The silent auction prices just don't go that high. It was great fun, though. And money was raised for Cerf. There was talk about doing SOS (**** on a stick). You know, a upscale version of the tacky 1.00 items you see at fairs. A nice bead on a stick = a hair stick. A nice hunk of fused glass on a metal stick = a garden stake. You get the picture. It never got done. I could see it as a fund raiser for any number of worthy causes..........

Oh, I'll know to donate to this particular one next time, but in
general, I always seem to hear about various worthy endeavors too late to contribute. I do try to donate my work to good causes whenever I can, I just am not enough "in the know" to hear about stuff, most of the time. Hey -- this is *RCB* -- I bet we could do one of these combo auctions ourselves, for breast cancer, next October! Do you think we should start planning it? You know, all of us have a project to donate, begin creating it in our heads, and put it on our calendars? Doing the requisite documentation (or whatever) in order to make it legit can be easily done. What do you say? I think, being that we *are* RCB (with our healing vibes and such), we should try to do things like this on a regular basis for various (but not a zillion) charities. Like maybe 3 or 4 a year. I'd love to find an animal welfare or wildlife preservation group we could donate to, also. What do you all think? We are a generous, healing group, and it's right in line with our identity. Life without giving is pretty barren. :-) ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry."

We just need to find the cause. How about some animal-saving (domestic or wild) group? Find one that puts most of its money toward the cause (instead of overhead), and isn't as well-funded as most (i.e., really needs the money). ??????? :-) ~~ Sooz ------- "Those in the cheaper seats clap.

try to do things like this on a regular basis for various (but not a zillion) charities. FABULOUS, idea Sooz. I would like to suggest a possible cause, too. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah - they take all of the animals they can, and they do NOT put pets to sleep. My daughter's school goes there every year and the kids donate their time helping clean cages, etc. Carol in SLC |
