Hi Navy Families of PIR 10/10/14
Some of you may have seen a conversation between other moms, in a different PIR date, on Navy For Moms regarding a gift basket auction at Sarge's Meet and Greet. I thought this would be fun for us to do as well, if we can get enough families to participate. I believe the idea was to make a basket specific to our state or locale. The proceeds will go to Sarge and his wife for hosting all of us. This would just be on top of our donations for the Meet and Greet in appreciation to them. I think if we could have at least 10 families say yes to participating, this would be enough to "go" with. We will need to set a monetary limit to spend on making the baskets, so I will wait to hear your response:) I am signing up to make 2 basket right now:) Anyone who cannot or does not wish to make a basket, can feel free to bid on the baskets;) A suggested minimum for the Basket is $20. If anyone wants to do more that would be awesome.
Thanks for any involvement!
ps. Mine will be "Imported from Milford, PA & Washingtonville, NY & a Teen basket also"

Hi Vic'sMom
You could do a basket representing California, (ie souvenirs, tshirts, something LA is known for),
Other ideas
tea basket, coffee basket, wine basket, beach basket. reading basket, craft basket, Navy, Military, anything that catches you fancy, Since you will be flying it may be better to get items you can put in your luggage and then assemble in Great Lakes. It does not have to be in a basket you can put it in a bag. I think I will ask each donator to just list what is in the basket since it may be hard to see if in a bag. It is a fun activity and will help out Sarge.
