WELLSVILLE, NY (April 19, 2018) – The 2nd Annual Spring
Fling, a fundraiser for the JMH Auxiliary, is set for Saturday, April 28 from 9
a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Wellsville Elementary School.
The basket auction is always a big hit and this year there
will be a special basket auction just for kids! In addition, the kids’
activities have been expanded to include a bounce house, face painting, and a
craft table.
“We are excited about the variety of items that are coming
in for the basket auction,” said Sue Dempsey, treasurer for the Auxiliary and
chair of the basket auction. “Last year we had 265 items in the basket auction
and we are hoping to surpass that this year.” This year the items donated for
the auction include an Adirondack chair, a silver and agate necklace from
Walker Metalsmiths, an outdoor fire ring from Brand Names, a Waterford Crystal
bowl, a basket of products and services from LaGra Salon, an Ellen Scott duffle
bag, and three $100 cash prizes. Tickets will be sold from 9 a.m. until 3:45 p.m.
with the drawing beginning at 4 p.m.
“Anyone who would like to put together a basket or donate an
item can do so until noon on Friday, April 27,” she added. Donations can be
dropped off at the hospital switchboard or pick-up can be arranged by calling
Ms. Dempsey at (607) 356-3488. “All donations are gratefully accepted,” she
added.
In addition to the basket auction, the Auxiliary will have a
vintage jewelry booth, a baked goods table, and a pie baking contest. The lunch
offerings include hot dogs, nachos, loaded baked potatoes, and – after the
contest – pie! Anyone who would like to enter the pie contest should bring
their pie to the school by 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 28. No cream pies or
other pies that must be chilled please.
“This is one of the Auxiliary’s major fundraisers,” said Kay
Eicher, president of the Auxiliary and Spring Fling Chair. “We appreciate the
support of the community.”
