If you would like to donate auction items or know what auction donations you are bringing, please Emily DeSchepper at ilffaalumniauction@gmail.com. Everyone is welcome! 

3.  Chapter Baskets

Once again this year, the Alumni Council will be hosting the chapter basket contest in conjunction with the Annual Meeting and Auction.  We ask that the Alumni Chapters that will be attending the Annual Meeting to participate in the basket contest.  Each affiliate, FFA Chapter, or non-traditional affiliate is encouraged to put together a basket that represents your area, FFA, or the FFA state theme of “Envision”. 

A 2020 Illinois FFA Camp Alumni Scholarship will be given to the Best Basket.  If enough money is raised from the chapter basket auction then additional scholarships could be announced.

Please see this link to the Chapter Basket Rules.
