Fiestivale needs family baskets for the silent auction! Every year, these family “theme” baskets play such a big part of the auction. We would love for your family to participate!

Basket values can be any price range and the themes are unlimited. Your family can create your own basket or even join together with one or several families and easily create something wonderful with very little individual effort. Be creative and have fun! Some basket theme ideas include: All About Art, Cats and Dogs, Rainy Day, Tool Time, Father’s Day/Mother’s Day, Teacher Appreciation, Summer Fun, Everything French, Fiesta, Martini Time . . . .You get the idea!

Just because we are calling them “baskets” doesn’t mean you can’t really get creative and use one of your theme items as the container for the goodies. For example, for a “Gardening” theme – you might use a clay pot or watering can to hold all the items.

Interested in participating? YES!

Here is what you need to do:

By Friday, March 27th, complete and return the “Donation Form” to the Fiestivale box in the office. Forms are available on the rack outside of the office. You may also print one from the EIS website at www.eisenhowerinternational.org/fiestivale.

Create your basket. Please use cellophane or shrink-wrap to cover the basket. The Fiestivale committee will not be responsible for wrapping the baskets or providing the materials.

Make a basket description sheet. The description sheet should include the name of the basket, the individual items listed, and the donor family’s name. You will need 2 copies of this. Please have both copies attached/taped on the cellophane/shrink-wrap when you turn in the basket.

Between April 1st – 9th, deliver your basket to the library with both copies of the basket description sheet attached.

On Saturday, April 18th, join us at “Fiestivale” at The Jazz Depot to bid on someone else’s family basket!
