NFBCO 2020 auction packages and participation

 

Although we are not all in the same room together for this convention, The National Federation of the Blind of Colorado auction will be happening live throughout the convention. Your auctioneer Maryann will be describing packages live and encouraging your bids.  

To bid you will need to be able to raise your virtual hand. If you are using the Zoom application, you will need to locate the “raise hand” button on the webinar screen. If you are joining using a Windows computer, you will use alt-y. If you are on a Mac use option-y. If you are calling in to our convention, please use star nine to raise your hand. Our Zoom hosts will lower all the hands between bids.

As the bidding progresses, we will invite you to unmute yourself for some spirited live participation. If you are using the application, you will find the mute/unmute button on the bottom left corner of your screen. In Windows use alt-a. In mac please use cmd-shift-a. If you are dialing in press star six. When you are finished with the vocal bids, please use the same button to mute yourself again.

If you are registered to our convention and are the highest bidder, you will be contacted by Gary or Maryann to collect your payment and get your shipping details after the bidding finishes. If you are not registered for our convention, we will join you briefly in a Zoom breakout room to collect these details.

All the auction packages will be shipped by the package donors.

Thank you in advance for your support. Happy bidding!
