[IL-Talk] thank you Chicago Chapter

[eileen Truschke]

 It truly was a team effort for the success of this auction. Also, much thanks to my mother who prayed we would have a successful auction. To add, thank you, Patti, for pushing us to dig into our pockets and raise money for Washington Seminar and Dave us for asking for auction items. 
Many thanks to Pam G.and Marylou for managing the table, who, over the years, have done such a tremendous job.Thanks to the other runners besides myself who delivered the items and Steve and Glen who took our tabs and counted our money, 
Have a blessed and joyous Holiday season.   Eileen T,    On Saturday, December 14, 2019, 10:06:14 PM CST, David Meyer via IL-Talk <il-talk at nfbnet.org> wrote:  
 
 I forgot one very important thing. Thank you for those who contributed 
items to this years event. Had we not had so many items that were 
tasty, functional educational and redemable for so many good things, 
this auction would not have occurred.
