Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “which/witch/wich.” Start your post with the word “which” and try to fit the word “witch” in somewhere if you can. – Linda G Hill
“Which auction items do I want to purchase tonight?” I wondered. It was our church fellowship group annual fundraising for the missionaries this evening.
The program included the silent auction and verbal auction. The silent auction was done half an hour before the verbal auction. Dinner was served during the verbal auction. The main dish for the dinner was bratwurst sausage sandwich, mashed potatoes, and coleslaw.
There were about 40 silent auction items and 22 for the verbal auction. The silent auction included some items people donated and some breakfasts, lunches, dinners, or game nights people sponsored. I had the calendar open on my phone ready to check on the dates.
When the Master of Ceremony announced the time to start the silent auction. I was fortunate to be standing by some activities sheet, so I quickly signed up for five, three for women (myself), one for both my husband and I, and one for men (my husband). During the verbal auction, I bid on two items and won both.
It was another pleasant night out for my husband and I. We enjoyed it as well as love to support the missionaries.

I spent $800, well, just once a year. I almost became a missionary… long story… I think subconsciously I’m making up what I have missed. 🙂

What a lovely way to fund raise. I have only been to one silent auction.

Yes, it is a very good way. People who sponsor spend money to prepare breakfast…dinner… people who brought them pay for the fund raising and have a nice get together. Or people donate items and buyer pay to the fund raising. Everybody is happy!
