Raffle and Silent Auction Contributions

It's always fun to collect the handmade items and artwork that are donated for the raffle and silent auction that are part of the Women's Service Day. We have such talented and generous women within our community! Proceeds from the auction and raffle will go this year to the Holland Free Health Clinic, which is helping to meet the needs for health care and prescription medications. The need is especially acute, as people who've lost their jobs often also lose their insurance coverage.

So bring your checkbook and wads of cash (no credit cards, please)! It's for a good cause, and we've got some great items.

This necklace was made by Sally Kibler of fused glass, wrapped in sterling silver.

This red felted bag was made by Barbara Loveland; it's part of her "Heart Felt" collection.

Mary Jo Campbell hand-painted a set of four 18.5 oz. wine glasses. Each has a retro flower motif and, on the base, a different quote: "I feel a sin coming on," "I love not camping," "Born to be wild," and "Medicated and motivated."

This stained glass panel was made by the Women's Service Day Planning Crew, under the able direction and with the invaluable assistance of Sally Kibler. It's in shades of pink and purple and includes a chain for hanging.
