    I've been out of the loop since all the SA shows have had my attention! But now, all focus is on CHICAGO!
    So, has there been any update on location? Date? Time?
    I want to be there for sure! Will help in any way I can!

  • I have a donation for the pre-party but I'm trying to understand the difference between the Wishlist Foundation (which I'm familiar with from past pre-parties) and the Five Horizons Foundation. Are they one in the same? are they competing for donations? Can someone please explain the differences between the two foundations so I can understand where my donation will be better served? My donation is an item that I think could qualify for the "silent auction".

    Best,
