Scharff Brushes - A  MONEY  SAVING  OPPORTUNITY!! 

 

     The Scharff brush company has a fund raising program offering Chapter members a chance to purchase brushes at 50% off and for the Chapters to make 10% on the sales. Bluebonnet’s Board is very excited to offer you this opportunity.

     At the March & May general meetings, there will be a handout! “Brushes: The good, the bad, and the ugly!” to help you stretch your money and buy only the brush sizes you really need.   You can order your brushes at these meetings and they will be delivered at the July meeting.

     This is a great chance to save a lot of money and raise a little money for the Chapter.

2006 Box Lunch Auction and Ice Cream Social

Along with the community service project in the morning, we had a "Box Lunch Auction and Ice Cream Social" in the afternoon. 

Admission to participate in the Box Lunch Auction was a painted memory box. 

To participate, the members painted something to put a lunch in, a favor to be included with the lunch, etc.  Then prepared (or bought) a wonderful lunch that the other members bid on.

There was a live auction of lunches from Bluebonnet Past Presidents, MDAs and CDAs and a silent auction of the other lunches.   It was a fun and lively Ways & Means project, raised alot of money for the chapter and members went home with a wonderful piece from one of their fellow members.

  

The members bidding on Lunches....and the Auctioneer, who else but Diana!

        

          

 Above are some of the Live Auction pieces and lunches
