We will be providing you with “bishop bucks” to use as money to bid with and pay for any service that you want on the night of the auction. Each person in the ward, including youth and primary children, has an opportunity to earn $1000 bishop bucks. Each auxiliary has created specific ways for you to earn your bishop bucks. Attached to this letter you will find this information. You may start earning your bishop bucks today. The last day to earn your bishop bucks will be September 19th. We are asking you to turn in how much you earned on Sunday September 19th, so that we can get all the money printed and ready for you on auction night.
On the night of the auction, the primary children will use their bishop bucks at a primary store, where they will be able to purchase some items. It is important that you are on time to this activity so that the primary children have enough time to go to the primary store before the auction begins.
We know that this is a lot to do for a ward activity, but we know that each person in the ward will benefit from it. Thank you for participating!

Primary
We will encourage the children to be reverent during sharing time, sing well during singing time and be reverent and participate in class; as we see these things and hear them from the teachers, we will add beads to an empty jar. The more beads in the jar, the more bishop bucks for the activity.
We will also urge the children to perform acts of service at home such making the bed for a sibling or cleaning something without being asked. We will enlist the help of the parents to send us an email or let us know on Sunday if they see acts of service performed in the home. We will announce these services (no names) and add beads to the jar.
