2025 CONVENTION GRAB BAGS - IMPORTANT!!
We had left over 100 Grab Bags from Mid-Winter, so we DO NOT need as many for convention.
This is the last time we will be doing Grab Bags because Ellen is retiring.
Therefore I am asking each Auxiliary to only bring 5 bags.
BUT - - -MAKE THEM SPECIAL!!
For example, something new - no old stuff. Scented candle, hand or body lotion, car tool, cup of soup and a spoon, full sized candy bar, something patriotic, just something nice. Let Margie know if you have any questions!
