Hi -

Yep, they're having the silent auction too. There are over 200

items and although I'm not sure what the highest amount will be,

right now bids run the gamut from $1 to about $75. I have NO idea

how some people plan to bring some of the stuff home on a plane

though...<G>. Autographed celebrities' pictures are one thing...but

a 9-piece pots and pans set?!?!?! I don't thik that will fit in my

carry-on! <wink>

Sharon,

I don't post much but read everything, and I'm so jealous, I wish I

was in Chicago to meet you! You and the other adults have been such

a great addition to our group, it means a lot.

Take lots of pictures and have fun!

Hi Sharon,

Thank you for keeping us informed. It sounds like you are all having

a really great time. I can't imagine how much fun you all must be

having. Thanks to you I dream't of " Chocolate covered potatoe

chips " last night!
