Gift basket of three jars of homemade jam (and a copy of Conspire! magazine)

Value:  $30      Starting Bid:  $20

Gift basket of three homemade jams and copy of CONSPIRE! magazine
Donated by:  Dee Dee Risher, editor of CONSPIRE! magazine, retreat leader, writer, and longtime Germantown resident


Dee Dee Risher and her kids pick fruit all summer at New Jersey farms around Glassboro, then trap all those great mornings in jam. They usually put up about five kinds of jam. Here she's sharing 3 jars of strawberry, blackberry, and blueberry jam to celebrate regional farms as well as all the generations of farm workers who have harvested their fruit.

We're also including a copy of CONSPIRE! magazine.  Conspire! exists to explore in a collaborative, creative, and corporate way some of the unique issues that arise from community life.  At the same time, it engages the struggles of many who are not in such communities.  The theme of this most recent issue ("The Economy of God:  Your Money Or Your Life") is packed with creative and courageous responses to how to reshape your economic life to reflect the bounty of God.
