Service Auction

The Service Auction takes place in late winter each year and is one of Prairie’s major fundraisers. Members and friends offer meals, activities, events, and services to each other for a price, and the proceeds go to Prairie.

The Service Auction is a fun way to share time and happenings with our Prairie families and friends and to raise money for Prairie. It is also an amazing time to learn about the many hidden talents among Prairie members and friends!

When is this year’s Service Auction?

Prairie’s 2020 Service Auction is March 1 at 10:00 a.m. at Oak Park Place.

If you have a party, meal, fun activity, or valuable service to offer your fellow members and friends, enter your idea on the online form.

April 1 is Census Day for the count done every 10 years of all US residents.

The presentation was developed for the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, which is partnering with Complete Census community groups to engage communities in this important aspect of making our democracy work for all.

FOR SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23rd, 2020: K-3 LEARNERS: Today we are wrapping up a February focus on self-regulation with an opportunity to make mindfulness jars. We'll discuss how we can use these tools to help settle ourselves, learn about our nervous system, and get creative with materials. Kids will leave ready to teach their family members all about self-regulation strategies using their beautiful mindfulness jar! GRADES 4-6 WHO ARE REGISTERED FOR OWL, will meet at the Annex building at 9:45 a.m. (doors open at 9:30!) Those not registered for OWL will have the option to join the older or younger learners this Sunday. MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL: Robin Proud joins our youth group today to give a shortened version of her talk on Humanism in Literature. The kids were asked last week to think about favorite literary characters who embodied humanist thought and philosophy and bring those ideas to our discussion this Sunday. If you don't have a specific character in mind, no worries! You'll leave with plenty of ideas to explore going forward. This discussion is open to anyone interested.
