[Nfbc-info] Chapter Baskets for NFBC State Convention

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
I know I haven't been here very long, but in other states, the auction items 
are not limited to baskets.  It might be a good idea to collect a variety of 
items which would be high-end/low-end.
Thanks
Lauren

The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be
understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them.
