[il-talk] NFBI Chicago Chapter Christmas Auction

[Mary Grunwald]

Hello,

On Saturday, less than a week from today, the NFBI will hold its annual 
Christmas Auction Fund Raiser. This auction is a great opportunity for 
fellowship, and is the Chapter's most important fund raiser. This 
chapter uses the funds for things such as assisting chapter members to 
participate in our upcoming Washington Seminar and to attend National or 
State Convention.

For this auction to be the success it can be, two things are needed:

We need a variety of interesting, useful or fun items on which people 
can bid. In years past, baked items, restaurant certificates, Sports 
memorabilia, spirits, etc. have been popular. If you have or can prepare 
such an item, please bring it to the Chapter Meeting.

Participating and bidding is a tradition many of us look forward to. 
Please come prepared to spend money on interesting items donated or 
prepared by your friends and colleagues.

This month's meeting will begin at noon at the Exchequer Pub, 226 S 
Wabash, at noon. Following the meeting at about 1:30, there will be an 
opportunity to view the auction items, with bidding beginning about 
2:00. Please be part of this chance to get to know us and to contribute 
to the important work we do.

Thanks,
Mary Grunwald
