Auction theme ideas: Recycle that shredding

As we 'wrap up' the Christmas holidays (get the pun?), I'm betting that you have some extra shredding laying around the house. Gift packages are often shipped in a generous pile of shredding in order to protect the contents inside. Before you casually toss the packaging material into your local community recycling bin, take a good look at it. Some of the newer types of materials can be used in auction fundraisers. The video below shows three types of shredding I've received and offers ... Read On >

Making other colors green with envy, Emerald is chosen as 2013’s official color

If you're tiring of traditional benefit auction themes, one option is to bypass the obvious choices and go with a color. For instance, emerald. I'm talking about PANTONE® 17-5641 TCS Emerald: the official color of 2013.  (You say you didn't know there was an official color? I didn't either, until 2011.)
