If that.

I may just give them a "blessings on your efforts" - and perhaps an explanation of why I feel that way.


I did notice at a fund-raiser that I attended - males seemed to be "in charge" during the auction - and that "womanly - needle-craft" hand-crafted items did not get the same attention as something made of wood or metal.
I have noticed this too. If the one running the auction is interested in it, has a family member/friend that did it, it gets promoted. Others will just get placed and "here it is".
I would give them $$ if I thought it was a worthy cause, otherwise say "oh so sorry..."
