Event report: 7th Annual Pioneer Days - Carolinas, upcoming and new auction

Event report: 7th Annual Pioneer Days - Carolinas Members and friends gathered from the SC Low Country with those in the Midlands for a great event. Lots of snacks, and oh my, the burgers were great with baked Vidalia onions or raw regular, sliced tomatoes, Swiss cheese, on huge bakery buns. The salad was perfect with a special yummy dressing. The hot tub was thoroughly enjoyed. The next event is Saturday, May 4th for the World Naked Gardening Day @ 3 followed by Mexican Fiesta with potluck Mexican themed supper @ 6:30. Please let me know if you expect to be there. I'll be fixing a casserole with hamburger meat, Rotel, sharp cheddar cheese. I have lots of tortilla chips and scoops. We do need other dishes and desserts. Below is how the pre-bids look for this annual auction that helps support the Naturist Action Committee (NAC), AANR Education Foundation, American Nudist Research Library, and Sistercare, a charity for abused women and their children. Bidding for real starts that day. If you can't attend any events, you are welcome to email your bid or your top bid, and I will do the bidding for you. Here's hoping We'll have a fun, productive season. The auction ends in September with the Patriots' Party & Fish Fry on September 7th. If you are out of town and are the successful bidder of an item, you are responsible for the postage. 2013 Auction Items: 5/2013 1.**Travelites ceramic mug - 2.**Travelites(bath-sheet)towel w/your name embroidered) 3.**Travelites womens black polo embroidered with club logo(L) 4.**Travelites lightweight ball-cap w/Travelites embroidered - 5.**Datrek/Corona Golf bag with insulated compartment & tees (donated by member) 6.**Steam buddy clothes steamer (member donated) - 7.**Sterling silver toe ring (member donated)- 8.**Purple print Pareo aka sarong (member donated) Jerry (Greenville) $8 We had two, one was sold for $100 to an out-of-town friend. 9.**Leather briefcase (member donated) 10.**Two-person 100% cotton rope hammock (member donated) 11.**AANR Its Hip to Sknnydip light blue tshirt 12.**Serendipity donated: logo 2XL royal blue t-shirt 13.**Serendipity donated: logo L red tank top 14.**Ace Hardware multi-purpose survival tool(member donated) $10 (Chuck-TN) 15.**AANR zippered-pocket ball cap 16.**AANR Nude Break white tank top XL 17.**Small black backpack (member donated) 18.**AANR American Assn for Nude Recreation est.1931red tanktop XL 19.**Turtle Lake Resort (donated) white tshirt with large turtle on back XL 20.**Absolutely Nude Under my Clothes white tshirt XL 21.**Cypress Cove donated(2)Ask me about Cypress Cove tshirts: L& XL 22.**Cedar Creek large travel mug w/lid (member donated) 23.**Travelites yellow bucket hat with pocket 24.**Sandpipers Holiday Park small tote(member donated) 25.**Handmade coral throw (member crocheted/donated) 26.** TNS donated: 2 green naturally tshirts; 1- L; 1-Small 27.** TNS donated: size L tshirt: Skinny-dippers have less stress 28.** TNS donated: size XL long-sleeve cocoa tshirt w/TNS logo. 29.** TNS donated: large, zippered,multi-pocketed tote Go barefoot all over w/World Best Nude Beaches & Resorts guide w/a years full membership. 30.**Granite bookends (member donated) 31.**Kitten windchime (member donated) 32.**Two 22" square microfiber tan pillows, new (member donated) 33.**Lamb dinner at members' home with hot tub (member donated)
