Remember how you love to shop for all those fabulous “gifts and goodies” at our Annual Sharing Conferences? Well, first someone has to donate the “loot.” That’s where you come in . . .

HELP! We need items for the 67 Silent Auction!

Each year, through the generosity of our members and guests, we offer a varied selection of merchandise for the conference attendees to bid onn throughout the Sharing Conference week.

The Auction provides great entertainment as members and guests try to out bid each other! Most importantly, all proceeds from the Auction are used to fund NAERPI’s educational programs. We are asking that you donate items that will garner attention and bring lots of action to the Auction!

Who may donate items?

The items you donate allow us to raise funds for worthwhile endeavors such as education and other recognition events. And – it’s major fun, too!!
