Richard is a junior at the University of California at Davis, majoring in history and minoring in communication and political science.

Volunteers Needed to Help Solicit Items for AAJA National Silent Auction
AAJA Sacramento is helping to gather silent auction items for the national silent auction, which will be held during the Unity 2012 convention in Las Vegas from August 1 to 4.
Some popular auction items in the past have included hotel stays, gift certificates, jewelry, gift baskets, cookbooks, sports items, etc. You want to look for items that people would want to bid for and can easily redeem or carry home in their luggage!
We can provide you more detailed instructions, plus form letters for gathering donations. We would like all the silent auction items collected by June 1. The chapter will ship all the items in a single box to Las Vegas.
Cody Kitaura, AAJA Sacramento secretary, will serve as the contact person for the chapter’s silent auction items.
He can be reached at [email protected] or 916-200-6496.
Please let us know if you can help and the best way to contact you via email or phone.
