Volunteer Opportunities
You may also donate items to be auctioned off or given as raffle prizes. Please ask your company or any businesses you frequent to make an item donation. Along with the publicity they receive at the raffle or auction, these businesses will get a free ad in one issue of The Ignitor (a $25 value for a business card size ad). Donations are tax deductible.
Here are some ideas for raffle and auction items:
- Artwork; Autographed sports or entertainment memorabilia
- Cash; Crafts or Handiwork; Camping Equipment
- Day Trips; Golf or Fishing Trips; Winery Tours
- Elegant Evenings Out; Resort Accommodations; Spa Treatments
- Food; Table or Cooking Ware; Bar-B-Q or Picnic items

Please use the gift donor letter and the item donation form links in this article to print the letter and form. These are used to carefully identify donor items so that AGSEM can be sure to send a thank you letter. Please print as many copies of the gift donor letter and the item donation form as you need.
Thank you very much for all that you do for AG&SEM. If you have any ideas, questions, or suggestions about fundraising for the museum, please contact me at mdfrancis@socal.rr.com .—Marion Francis
