[Nfbc-info] Bid for Excellence

[Melissa]

Hi All,
I just want to thank everyone who sent items from their chapters for the Bid for Excellence Basket. A couple of you (Hoby and Rick) had offered to send more items and I do appreciate that, but we really needed to get the basket off to The National Center. The basket was shipped yesterday and looks so awesome! The following items are what the basket contained:

Dodgers Beach towel
4 pound container of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans
Monterey Bay Aquarium Sea Otter Mama and Baby stuffed animal
3 cans of flavored Blue Diamond Almonds
2 bottles CHUG 2009 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay (will be shipped directly to purchaser)
Sacramento Hero T-shirt
Sacramento oven mitt
2 Sacramento clips 
Sacramento California collector spoon with state Capitol on it
California refrigerator magnet
Sacramento River cats baseball
Sacramento River cats 2013 trading cards
Sacramento state Capitol key chain
Los Angeles visitors guide
2 glass shot glasses
1 ceramic shot glass
California state Capitol trinket box

Cal and I purchased a really nice basket (very sturdy) to present the items in. The basket turned out really nice and I appreciate all of your donations!

I will send out a picture for those of you who would like one.

Melissa

>> Hi All,
>> I'm waiting to hear back on further details for a date. For now, please give some thought to what would represent your area of California for the basket. Talk with your chapters and get some ideas. I will update you all as soon as I get a confirmed date. And yes, in the past the auction was hosted by eBay and I believe it will be the same this year. Thanks
