We're heading up north! We look forward to seeing many of you in Edinburgh, Scotland for this year's Biennial Conference; it promises to be a very special time.
We hope you're all looking forward to
Foundation Night on Saturday of the conference as we celebrate Education while supporting the programs of The FAWCO Foundation; join us for the Silent Auction, Live Auction, Class-Y Combo Raffle drawing, Costume Contest, Pop Quiz and more! The Friendship Quilt raffle will be drawn on Sunday.
Be True To Your School! Dress code is anything school related - hats, scarves, sweatshirts, uniforms, saddle shoes. Whatever suits and whatever still fits. Show us your school spirit by showing us your school colors!
See you in Edinburgh and don't be late for school!

"3 Cheers for Education!"
We are still looking for Live Auction items. If you have a vacation home, unique experience or specialty item to offer, we would love to put it into the Live Auction - Three Cheers For Education!

o to the Auctions page on our website where you can read more about the Auctions and browse the catalog to choose an incredible destination for your next adventure or one of our unique specialty items. Then send an email, along with the lot number, the item title and your minimum and maximum bids to:
Silent Auction
Want to bring an item for the Silent Auction? Silent Auction donations can be anything from jewelry and scarves to photos, artwork, handcrafts or anything you like. Because big or small, It All Adds Up!
Please remember a few things regarding the Silent Auction:
Please bring
only two items per person.
And you will need to
pre-register your items
. This will make the registration and drop/off process run much more smoothly and allow our Silent Auction team to get organized before the conference even begins. There will be very specific times for drop-off of items so please look at your Agenda for times.
Contact Carol-Lyn McKelvey at silentauction@fawcofoundation.org with any questions.
