Texas gramma Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 The certificate is a great idea. This way there can be no doubt as to the descriptions and content of the donation and most especially the value of it. It also simplifies the huge job done by the people assembling and tagging the auction and raffle items. Suzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Elissa Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I've already started getting some things together to donate. Suzie and I will probably do our usual joint gift basket projects and maybe a special raffle item or two. I agree, the itemized list with estimation of value is a great idea!
