The above is a sterling silver pin with a sapphire jewel. The ECLF sells this pin for $100, plus $15 for insurance and shipping. The proceeds from the pin sales off-set the foundation’s expenses. Our goal is not to use any donated funds for adminstrative expenses. Our Secretary, Karen Green, has the pins and can be reached at cca@aol.com.
