Bringing Together the I'On Business Community

Welcome Baskets are distributed to all new neighbors


Currently managed by Annie Bonk. The Welcome Basket provides new I'On residents with the opportunity to be introduced to local businesses that would like to be the first to say 'Hello, and welcome to our neighborhood".

Businesses have the opportunity to provide samples of various products and useful items, charmingly displayed in a woven basket.  Personalized discount coupons and supporting literature are included with individual samples.

The Welcome Basket is great for new neighbors and the businesses that participate. 

Businesses are asked to supply a minimum of 15 basket contributions. When the supply of baskets become low, an email will be sent requesting the next supply of 15 items.....usually every few months. You may supply more than 15 items if this is more practical for you.

These are some of the items that have been in the baskets in the past:

  • Southern Moon Frame Shop, Carol Williams, Moonpies
  • Square Onion, Mary Austin and Cary Zapatka, Koosies & Magnet
  • The Pet Sitter, Sally Little, pet toys
  • Portraits by Diane, notecards from paintings
  • The I'On Radio Station, music cds
  • The Community of I'On, directories
  • The I'On Trust, frisbees
  • L'Athene, skin care products

Items can be dropped off on Annie's back porch between 9:00 am and 9:00 pm
