What is the “auction” all about?
Facilitators give out “play money” to participants for answering questions and participating. Participants can use this “play money” to bid on some very nice gifts that are donated by
different companies. Some of these gifts have a value
of up to $200 dollars
Is it true that we have an unbelievable amount of
fun?
Absolutely!Yes!Si!
Why?
I can’t tell you because what happens in (Where
ever) stays in (Where ever). You need to go in order to find out. Or ask any former participant, they might tell
you.
