I've held silent auctions. I've had some of the residents help make flower arrangements and I've also asked local businesses to give gift certificates and or products to add to the auctions. Once I have the items gathered I have put them in groups and sit them out on a table in the front foyer with the sheets for making bids. I have left them out for a week or two and then when it is over I call the highest bidder of each and they come pick up their items. I have a "bidding form" and a form typed out for businesses since a few needed a letter head to give a donation. Feel free to message me if you'd like [email protected]
