Theme Baskets Needed!

Theme baskets are very popular. Why? Because they are FUN and EASY!

Anyone can make one! Theme Baskets will be sold during “SPECIAL ITEMS”

at the auction. Each basket or container is filled with items, all pertaining to

one certain theme, wrapped in CLEAR cellophane. So get a Sunday School

Class, Bible Study Group, Youth Group, Family or Friends together and donate

a Theme Basket to the Mid-Atlantic District of the Brethren Response Auction. Be

creative! The only limit to making a Theme Basket is your imagination.
