(Mission Times Courier, San Diego, CA) - The annual school auction sponsored by our Benchley-Weinberger Foundation was once again a huge success. There were many wonderful and innovative classroom baskets on the silent auction tables, so there was a lot of good-natured competition going on for the marvelous baskets.
