Re: [AGA-sc] Update? (fwd)

I think we can earmark the other plants from FAN for the auction.  They 
can get local stores to donate exactly what they want or go to chucks's 
wholesaler-maybe and get big clumps of specific things, then they can go 
to auction.

Sorry, feeling a little touchy today about them cutting in on things, I 
may calm down and be reasonable later.  Specifically FAN was relieved they 
didn't have a list to match this year, or at least that was my 
interpretation of it.
