Fellow Federationists,

 

We in the NFB of Utah love to give away door prizes almost as much as we
love the excitement of the annual auction luncheon held on Saturday during
our conventions.  In order to meet both demands, we need your help in
collecting donations from across the state. Thank you to those who have
already been out talking to friends and business owners in your areas .

 

As you collect these treasures, please email either me at
msjenniferkennedy at gmail.com or Daniel Ashman at djashman2007 at gmail.com with
a description of what the donation is, and who sponsored the item. The
auction and door prize committee works hard to give each contribution a
great description, but it takes time to do this before the convention
weekend begins. Please note chapter presidents typically are responsible for
submitting chapter basket information. If your submission falls into this,
be sure you have already spoken with your chapter president. If you have
been asked specifically by a business to use the donation as an auction
item, please indicate this in your description.

 

Thanks for all you do,

Jennifer Kennedy
