We will be holding the Silent/Live Auction again on Sunday evening, August 2, 2026, at the 53rd Annual Conference in Austin, Texas.  We all know what an exciting time we have each year! I would like to encourage everyone to bring an item for the auction.  It does not have to be anything fancy or expensive. Past items have included hand-crafted items, artwork, jewelry, books, basket of goodies, T-shirts, adult beverages, etc., just anything you have created or something that caught your eye on a shopping spree. It is always fun to see what items show up from different parts of the country. Most importantly, all proceeds go to the Educational Fund. Let’s support this worthwhile cause by bringing an item to donate! Thank you for your help!
