Good afternoon CenCal,

We have less than a week until the WESTOP Conference!  Therefore, if attending, please plan on buying an item for the Central Cal Chapter basket.  At the last chapter meeting in UC Merced we decided to put together a college themed basket with items from each of our institutions for the WESTOP Silent Auction Fundraiser.  Program staff attending WESTOP could turn in their items to me in Long Beach and I will arrange the basket.

We want to make sure we don’t buy too many of the same type of items so here is a list of what has already been purchased or will be purchased:

Fresno State Upward Bound & ELL Upward Bound—Fresno State cap and a polo shirt

College of the Sequoias—Hooded sweatshirt

Fresno State Talent Search—Travel mug and t-shirt

National Hispanic University—String bagpack and coffee mug

Modesto Junior College—Clipboard and blanket

Please let me know what your program will purchase so that I could update the list.

Thank you very much!
