| Growing up with model trains |
|
Those of us who grew up in the post-WWII era---at least the guys, but not exclusively---likely had model trains. Whether Lionel O gauge or American Flyer S gauge, our tracks under the Christmas tree often "graduated" to tables in the basement. I still have quite a collection from that era ...and track on which to run them. If you'd like to dig out your vintage O gauge, bring it to my place and give it a test run. | 1 | -1 | .0001E7 | 10 | |

| Eclipse Viewing Party |
Join us to view the upcoming total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024. This "Great North American Eclipse" will occur when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby obscuring the image of the Sun for us lucky viewers. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs only in a narrow path across Earth's surface, and WE'RE IN IT! We will supply you with safe viewing glasses, and some fun snacks and beverages, as we watch the eclipse over the course of 2 hours from our naturalized back yard in Berea. How exciting!

| REVERAND ALI NEEDS MORE STOLES |
I will make Ali some more stoles for worship. For every $100 that is donated I will make a stole for her this year (up to 3). I will choose the design. Amounts can be donated in increments of $20. In other words, I am offering 15 slots for people to donate $20 each. For example, if you buy 3 slots, the cost is $60 (3 X $20). If all slots are filled I can complete 3 stoles for her in 2024. Note: If there is a partial amount leftover that does not equal $100, I will put it towards a similar offering next year. | 15 | -1 | .0002E7 | 20 | ||

Now an afternoon soiree held at the church, we’ll gather at 1:00 PM, with pizza at 1:30, followed by dessert, snacks and, of course, poker. We’ll be playing one game of tournament style No Limit Texas Hold’em. Both novice and experienced poker players are welcome – while the game will be competitive, it will also be friendly.

| Handknit shawls |
| I love to knit. Like, a lot! In fact, I am running out of room to store things. I have a lot of very nice shawls that I just don't have the time to wear. They include many different shapes, sizes, and colors. For this listing, you will get to help select a shawl from my collection that will be yours to keep. Keep in mind that all my shawls are knit from superwash wool yarns, so they are super soft! For the yarn and time I put into my shawls, this price is a bargain, but it's helping me, too, so let's do it! | 10 | 8 | .00045E7 | 45 | |

| A Visit to the Cleveland Botanical Garden | Susan Paxson and Sherry Spencer will come and pick you up and we will go to the Cleveland Botanical Garden in University Circle. If we plan our trip before March 17th, we can experience "Orchids Forever" to melt away the winter blues! This year’s show will highlight the serene feeling of sunrise and sunset. Species like Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, and Oncidium come in hues of pink, purple, orange, and yellow—the sky’s color palette. Guests will be surrounded by orchids located throughout the indoor gardens and glasshouses, a dreamscape for flower lovers, and endless photo opportunities for all. If this timing doesn't work for you, it is also wonderful in the warmer months, when we can see the outdoor gardens including the Japanese Garden created by our own David Slawson. The date and time will be determined by each individual buyer. Two to four people can go together along with me and Sherry. We are willing to go up to 4 times so 8 people can sign up. If you have someone you want to pair up with, and they also sign up, let us know! | 8 | 3 | .00025E7 | 25 | ||
