It has been brought to my attention that perhaps my earlier message about high end and low end are not very clear. My apology, last year we had some pretty amazing and beautifully made baskets. Our idea for this year is that we come up with a way to have baskets that are affordable for all convention attendees. It is entirely up to chapters to determine what "end" of the price or auction they will be donating. Again sorry for any confusion and please any questions feel free to call me at 951-445-2520 or repost your concerns. Hope this kind of helps.
