>Our president has asked me to chair the auction committee and I am 
>honored to do so again this year.  So, we need to have a few things 
>in place to we can have a successful auction.  First, we need people 
>to donate baked goods, theme baskets, services, or your crafts.  I 
>am requesting baked good to be securely sealed preferably in a 
>disposable or plastic container.  This will prevent your fine work 
>from being crushed in transit.  I am requesting that you 
>put  Braille labels on your items which should contain a description 
>of what they are and how much of it is in the container.  It would 
>also be helpful if you would send a short description to me as well 
>so we have an idea of the number of items we will have in our 
>auction.  If you are unable to make Braille  labels, I can make them 
>for you if you request that when you send me the brief description 
>of your item.  Braille supplies will be available for last minute 
>donations but it is so helpful if we know you will need help with 
>labels before we go to convention so that we are not scrambling to 
>make a bunch of labels Saturday morning.  My e-mail is

>Second, it's always a lot of fun when people help me auction off 
>items.  I'd like to find as many volunteer auctioneers in advance so 
>that we can be as efficient as possible in between 
>presentations.  After all, we've got to compete with the door prize 
>committee.  Please e-mail me at 
><mailto:charlotte.renee1972 at gmail.com>charlotte.renee1972 at gmail.com 
>and let me know if you are interested in being an auctioneer.  I 
>will compile a list and I'll do my best to see that you have the 
>opportunity to be an auctioneer.  Those who may have difficulty 
>reading the Braille labels will receive assistance.

>I'm very excited for us to make lots of money so we can fund our 
>movement.  My mouth is already watering.
