Our next Embrace Volunteer Service Trip will be to China and Ethiopia. We are trying to put a trip to China together for November 2012, and Summer 2013. We would also like to get a trip to Ethiopia together for Fall 2013. If you are a therapist and would like to join us, please email angie@embraceinternational.org, and fill out the application you can find online.
Each attendee pays $2 for a paddle with a number on it. When an item comes up that you want to bid on, you pay the item fee (1 - 4 quarters, most items are 1 quarter) by placing the money in the center of the table.

If they call your number and you did bid on the item, you win that item. (If they call your number but you did not bid on the item, you do not win and they keep pulling numbers until they pull the number of someone who did place a bid.)
