[Nfbc-info] Chapter Baskets for NFBC State Convention

[Joy Stigile]

Dear Lisa Maria,

At our last 2 state conventions we have had an auction during the banquet 
dinner to help raise funds for our affiliate.  Last year all of our baskets 
were in the high end.  Which means all of the baskets started bidding at 
about $20 and ended around $100.  This year the chapter presidents and board 
members thought that may have left out a lot of members who could not bid 
that high.  So, this year the chapters are being asked to make high end 
(valued at $100) and a low end ($10) baskets.

I hope this helps to   explain it more clear to you.

,  Warmly, Joy
