Scarecrow's Brain

Wizard
Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity.
Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the earth,
or slinks through slimy seas has a brain! Back where I come from we
have universities - seats of great learning - where men
go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep
thoughts, and with no more brains than you have.
But - they have one thing you haven't got - a diploma!
Therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Universita Committeeatum E Pluribus Unum,
I hereby confer upon you the honorary degree of Th.D.
Scarecrow
Th.D.?
Wizard
Yeah - that - that's Dr. of Thinkology

Tinman's Heart

Wizard
As for you, my galvanized friend - you want a heart! You don't know how
lucky you are not to have one.
Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
Tin Man
But I - I still want one.
Wizard
Back where I come from there are men who do nothing all day but
good deeds. They are called
phil....er.....phil...er...er....good-deed-doers and their hearts are no
bigger than yours, but they have one thing
you haven't got! A testimonial!
Therefore, in consideration of your kindness, I take pleasure at this
time in presenting you with a
small token of our esteem and affection. And remember, my sentimental
friend, that a heart is not judged
by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.
Tin Man
Oh, Oh, it ticks! Listen! Look, it ticks!

Lion's Courage

Wizard
As for you my fine friend, you are a victim or disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate
delusion that simply because you run away from danger you have no
courage! You are confusing courage with wisdom.
Back where I come from we have men who are called heroes. Once a
year they take their fortitude out of mothballs
and parade it down the main street of the city. And they have no more
courage than you have. But - they have one thing
that you haven't got! A medal!! Therefore, for meritorious conduct,
extraordinary valor, conspicuous bravery
against wicked witches, I award you the Triple Cross. You are now a
member of the Legion of Courage!
Lion
Oh - oh, shucks, folks - I'm speechless!

These ideas are just wonderful!!!!

Our auction will be at a Country Club. I will definately post pictures.

Our auction is for March 3rd.

For our "SAVE THE DATE" we are going to do either large Lollipops or Musical CD's of course we will have the music of Wizard Of OZ.

We will probably go with what is most cost effective.

School starts on Monday so I will post more details once we start our monthly auction meetings.

the wizard could be a staff member, well disguised, and a raffle box with correct answer for who it is, gets the prize. call it a mini fun(d)-rOZer.

OMG!! I absolutely LOVE this theme idea!!!! Great ideas guys!! You'll have to take pictures and share tracyhill.

How about making a faux yellow brick road leading to auction site. I'm assuming this is at school. Of course whoever is working the auction should be in full Wizard of Oz costume.

I just love this kind of thing!!
