This year we are starting some new traditions and bringing back some auction standards. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Our auction wouldn’t be right without the McGeorge magnificent fudge and the $100 progressive auction. We are also going to play heads or tails this year for Broncos tickets. See the recent blog for details. Greeley, Pueblo, and our Mountains and Plains chapters are bringing us a mystery auction with gifts and gift cards that will not sell to the highest bidder but the one who bids the mystery price for each item. This will be a wonderful opportunity for people to win items at reasonable prices with some luck and skill thrown in for good measure. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Other items of note this year include a wonderful $1000 Colorado Springs weekend package, Mary Kay, Tupperware sets, a $200 pair of Bose headphones, baskets of Pippi’s homemade breads, a one-of-a-kind treasure chest, and many more wonderful things, so dust off your credit cards, shine up your lucky coins, and get ready to participate in our annual auction.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Those who still need to get me auction packages and details can send them to <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:maryannmigs@gmail.com">maryannmigs@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you all for your amazing auction support.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>At your service,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Maryann Migliorelli—Auction Chair<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>National Federation of the Blind of Colorado<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="mailto:maryannmigs@gmail.com">maryannmigs@gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>720-284-2318<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
