Delegate Bag Donations

The “Roaring 20’s”

Celebrate this years Annual by donating towards the Delegate Bags!!!

Now is the time to showcase your club or event for the upcoming season, by including your club gift in the 2026 Annual Delegate Bag! There is plenty of time to order your donation. Some ideas have been, bookmarks, custom pins, rubber jar openers, luggage tags, hand sanitizers, first aid kits, sewing kits, game cards, pens, highlighter, post-its, cat toys, litter scoops, mints, bandaids, magnets, chip clips, small water bottles, reusable bags, snacks (pretzels, chips, cookies, granola bars, candy). Most can be found and personalized on-line. Some online sites are AliExpress, Temu, Amazon, Etsy, Oriental Trading or just Google it! If you can dream it, you can get it inexpensively put onto a product to advertise your event! Last year many Out-of-Region show producing clubs made sure their upcoming shows were already on the minds of exhibitors by placing a gift in the Delegate Bag.

We’re asking that you order ( 350) of your items, however you choose to create them, whether that’s a formal product that’s engraved or just a snack bag with a sticker showing off your club’s gift. Please remember all donated items should be labeled or personalized by the club or donor so we can easily identify who gave what donations.  Please ship them directly to:
Joy Yoders Dey,
8 Dewberry Drive,
Eastampton, NJ 08060
to be received no later than Tuesday, June 16, 2026.

Region 1 will have a team of volunteers (feel free to join us!) stuffing delegate bags at the Annual with YOUR club’s gift and information on your upcoming event! Any questions? Reach out to Alene (sinend.ta@gmail.com) or Joy (manxcat123@comcast.net) and we’ll be happy to assist if we can.

We need your​ donations by Tuesday, June 16, 2026 at the latest. This is the cutoff date.
Please make sure your club is part of our celebration in the birthplace of CFA!!!
