Your donations are what make the auction fun for everyone. No item is too small and no item too large (well, provided it fits in my room).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please bring your auction items to me on Saturday morning in the main convention meeting room. It is helpful if all items are marked in Braille with a description of the item, an approximate cash value if you know, and the name of the donor.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please, no small children or live animals for auction. We’re looking forward to a fun time with this year’s auction so bring your wallets. Credit cards are accepted and we’ll keep track of your purchases.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance for all of you who donate so generously. These donations make our work possible in changing what it means to be blind.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Mike Bullis, Auctioneer<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
