Auction items needed

Money raised will help pay for transportation and sports facilities not fully funded by stretched school district budgets.
They can use services, vacation rentals, sports tickets, trips or new items to put up for bid.
The Drive to Win 2010 auction is planned for Feb. 6, but they hope to receive donations by Friday.
