Hello CCB Family and Friends!
Our CCB auction committee is proceeding with plans to hold our 2020 ccb auction on September 20. We have compiled a wish list of suggested items, which you or your chapter or organization might wish to donate. The list has been posted to both listservs, and is also available on our website. It will be updated regularly as our wishes come true.
In order to proceed with our auction, we need a firm commitment of your donation item(s) by June 15, though the item doesn’t need to be in our hands until mid August. These items are only intended as suggestions; prices are included when available. Remember all donations must be new and worth at least $50.
