Dear East Valley,
I hope you are all having a wonderful week. 

Debra Smith has created a beautiful Valentines Day basket that we will be auctioning off this Saturday at our Chapter Meeting.

If you choose to participate, we can take cash or checks.
All proceeds will go to the East Valley Chapter.
We will be doing this again throughout the year with some fun spa baskets for the ladies that have been donated to the East Valley, so boys... This is your opportunity to get that special someone a gift that they will truly love.
Thank you. Sincerely,
