Part of the day’s festivities was a silent auction of gift baskets put together by the various units and branches throughout the library, all in support of United Way.
I had a preview of some of the baskets the day before the conference (Conference Committee Chair’s privilege
) and this one immediately caught my eye – a bunch of books, videos and toys – all with a orange and blue “Horton Hears A Who Theme”. Oh, and also because it was in a mesh bag with a handle which would be easier to carry to the car then a “real” basket.
Luckily it was the one I ended up winning (I stayed as top bidder on three different baskets for an uncomfortably long period of time and as good of a cause as United Way is, I was happy to spread the generosity around among my colleagues!)
