Friends,

Rex has a webpage up for the silent auction and a number of quality items
are being donated.  Please talk to supporters about donating a special item.
Encourage them to use the forms below (one is an attachment, the another
copy is in the body of this message).  As the month of September moves on,
the list and description of auction items can be viewed statewide.  We will
encourage bidding at that stage.

We know that Central Iowa and Northwest Iowa are planning their own auctions
in the coming months, but we need people's help at the chapter level.

Thanks,

Jim Redmond     Jack Eastman    Ericka Dana
