The 2022 Lubbock Convention ASTEF Auction was a huge success...again.  Thank you to our donors! Our members donated a total of 86 items ranging from designer handbags, antique glassware, picnic baskets, artwork, and of course...jewelry. It all came together for a great event. Thanks to the generosity of those bidding, we surpassed our auction goal for the Lubbock auction. All money raised through the ASTEF auctions goes to the Projects Fund.
