2009 Fundraiser Details

Thanks so much to all of you for donating your time and creativity to this fundraiser! I can’t wait to see all the wonderful representations of our Wyoming counties.

Some of you are already working on baskets – and selling tickets! Here is a list of those who are pulling baskets together so far. If you don’t see a name next to the county you are in, would you be willing to take on this task? And if you have know a grad alum who is not on our volunteer list from another county, would you be willing to contact him/her and ask if they could do a basket from their county?

As far as what to include in the baskets, here are ideas from last year. Also, check out Wyoming First Products for ideas: http://www.wyomingfirst.org/index.htm. Anything is open, from the very well-known subjects (Devil's Tower) to the perhaps less well-known (Moore Pottery).

• Photos (landscape of red desert?)
• Art from local artist (pottery, painting, sculpture?)
• Book from local author
• Crafts (jewelry, knitting, crocheting, quilting, ???)
• Food (honey from local beekeeper?)
• Products from major industry (molasses from the sugar beet industry in Washakie County? Baking soda from Sweetwater County?)
• Ceramic tiles or note cards from the Wyoming State Museum Store (one design for each county)

Ideally, I would like to have the baskets dropped off on Wednesday or Thursday morning. At this time I am planning to be at the conference on Thursday only. So I will need lots of volunteers to assist at the raffle table on Thursday and Friday. Let me know which times you can sit at the table.
