This year we will be having a silent auction. I have been aaked to oversee the auction this year. ALL proceeds for the silent auction go to the Campership fund and helps send a scout to camp. For this auction we will need items with a value of at least $25. Each district is asked to look in their areas to local businesses and places for donations. Each district is asked to get at least 5 items from their district for the auction. CIEC covers a wide area. Many local businesses are willing to donate. All you have to do is ask. A letter of donation with tax ID number can be used. If needed request one. Personal donations of items are gladly accepted also. We do ask the value of such be at least $25. Monetary donations will be gladly accepted. Let's make this year a success. If you have any questions, suggestions or are willing to help with the silent auction. Please contact me via Email Divine_durango_diva@msn.com or 951-833-2409 Celebrating Our Volunteers, Christa 'Bubbles' Jenson, Silent Auction Coordinator James E. West Fellowship Endowment Program  | Ralph Waldo Emerson’s observation that “an institution is the lengthened shadow of one man,” is best exemplified by Dr. James E. West. Today, Scouting is the “lengthened shadow” of the more than three decades of the farseeing and dedicated leadership provided by Dr. James E. West. In 1910, James E. West became the first Chief Scout Executive of the Boy Scouts of America, and he served in that position for more than three decades. The James E. West Fellowship Award is available for gifts of $1,000 and up in cash or marketable securities to the Council Endowment Fund. The gift must be in addition to and not replace or diminish the donor’s annual Friends of Scouting support. Many individuals and corporations make these gifts either on behalf of someone else, such as in honor of an Eagle Scout, Silver Beaver recipient, a retirement, a special accomplishment, or anniversary or in memory of a special individual. If an institution is truly “the lengthened shadow of one man,” it is more than fitting that the BSA honor James E. West’s monumental contributions to Scouting in such a significant way. The Executive Board invites you to support our California Inland Empire Council. James E. West Fellowship form | Ray Abril Tribute | Austin Michael McClain Downs | Gary D Jensen* | Louis G.
