This year we will have our usual antiques and collectables supplemented with coupons from some of the finest local resraurants. Lene Levy-Storms' stepmother manages several of the finer eateries in the French Quarter and the Garden District. Antiques/collectables include a Disney version of Louis Armstrong; sterling silver candlesticks; small stained glass lamps; decanters; various wines from Steve Wallace and others; wine glasses; pottery from Allan Goldman and others; two very nice quilts, one signed; beer steins; artwork and a stained glass window of a peacock; a nice cameo vase signed Gall; a enamel pin dish designed by Edward Star for Gumps, San Francisco; Japanese enamel boxes and other artwork; Orrefors bowls; Steuben glass; Tiffany sterling silver boxes; and Tiffany gift items. We will also have some signed jewelry.

I am still collecting and expect to have more very nice gift items. I am also looking for other donations. Please contact me if you have items you think would be appropriate. Last year we cleared more than $6,200, which was added to the Section Award endowments. Brenda Wamsley, Deanna Lewis, Terry Caffery, Bruce Friedman, Larry Branch and Bob Binstock all did great jobs as volunteers. I hope they will continue. Volunteers and auction items are still needed. APHA will give a listing of all donated items for IRS purposes.
