  3. As a means to raise money for a charitable organization, the November group held a silent auction containing items donated by club members. There were Department 56 accessories and lit-houses, Christmas wreaths and display items, Disney figurines, gift certificates, knives, etc. Biddings were fierce and competitive on numerous auction items. At the end of it all, the club collected $522 for The Toronto Star Santa Claus Fund and auction winners went away proud with their “winnings”.
