Dessert Reception/Auction
Tuesday September 25
Don’t miss out on the infamous dessert reception and Auction being held on Tuesday evening to support “Ya’ll Believe.”  Funds from the auction help support educational events and scholarships for the ACA SE members and camps! 

What can you expect?  Great desserts, great auctioneers, of course AND great items to purchase!  Mixed in with the auction is a variety of “entertainment” and fun.  Be a part of this evening as we celebrate and laugh and raise money for ACA SE!

How can you help?  Donate an item (large or small) for auction. Create a theme basket from your camp or organization.   T-shirts, sweatshirts, chairs, books, candy… wine… skills training… we have had a great variety of items in the past.   Items for auction can be turned in to the registration area at the conference. Highlights from past years have included a rocking chair, canoe/kayak lessons, complimentary week(s) at camp, great camp t-shirts, one of a kind craft items, and much more!
