Windsor Historical Society Seeks Auction Donations

Windsor Historical Society's major fundraiser this year is a pre-holiday auction on the evening of November 21, 2008. Please save the date and plan to attend. We are looking for 40 silent auction items and 40 live auction items:
-- time at vacation homes or resorts
-- catered private dinners
-- themed gift baskets
-- high quality antiques, art, craft work or jewelry, minimum auction value of $100
-- electronic items such as the Nintendo Wii
-- high quality children's gifts
-- a cash gift to be used towards purchase of auction items.

It's for a good cause: your donations support the many public programs we offer for Windsor's schoolchildren and adults, and the operation of our historic houses, research library, exhibition galleries, and family learning center. The Windsor Historical Society is a private, non-profit educational organization that is tax-exempt under IRS code 501(c)(3). All gifts are fully tax deductible and will be acknowledged.

Donors will be listed in the auction booklet, on our website, and in all press releases and e-mail blasts sent about the auction. A donation for our auction is a high-visibility way to show your support for our active, community-spirited museum and for Windsor history during our town's 375th birthday year. If you can help with one of the items above or have another idea for us to consider, please contact Christine Ermenc at the Windsor Historical Society, 688-3813, x 101 or cermenc@windsorhistoricalsociety.org. Thanks!
