Jim Bronson provided an update on auction planning and reminded members that, with just one week remaining, a significant amount of work takes place after donated items are submitted. This includes Ron Latham manually entering items into the database, developing item packages, coordinating ad entries and logo submissions, and overseeing catalog design and production. A video presentation is also being developed for this year’s auction.
We are about 100 items short of our usual 400 items. Please continue making your asks and submit donated items as soon as possible.
