[Nfb of Utah]

62 years strong and an auction to live up to the name of the National
Federation of the Blind of Utah. Together we are changing what it means to
be blind, and Together we will experience an auction filled with the new,
lightly used, and vintage Auction Items: 

1. New: As Deja Powell transitioned into the role of Salt Lake Chapter
president, charging ahead and implementing her vision, she realized that
there just wasn't enough time in the day to coordinate the NFBU Fashion
Show. If this agenda omission has left you wanting, or left your wardrobe
with a plus one begging to be shown to the world; get ready to get your
cosplay on at FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention.  NFBU Action Committee will
be auctioning off 4 Multipass to FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention, the
Multipass is a great way to experience all three days of the show! This pass

2. Lightly Used: Is it just me, or has this year's winter been more grey and
somber than most? Is there a better way to cure cabin fever or seasonal
doldrums than that of a vacation? Well actually, yes. A vacation to a
tropical climate. Experience all the thrill, excitement, and luau that you
can handle when you win the NFBU Shell Vacation Club Timeshare. Experience a

And, just in-case you are still not planning on making yourself known at the
Auction Preview, in checking the auction item list, thrice, there seems a
growing concern . 

The Federation Family and our local businesses across Utah have generated so
much buzz and excitement, that the Live Auction might have an excess of 50
auction items.  Remember, auction items in excess of 50 might not have the
opportunity to be Live Auctioned, as such there would be a dedicated area
within the auction preview room for Silent Auction items.  These items will
only be available to bid on during the Auction Preview, Friday, April 12
from 4-7pm, and at the close of the Auction Preview the highest bidder will
win the item.  Winners will be announced throughout the general session on
Saturday, anyone who is not in attendance during the general session would
be contacted separately for payment and collection of the item(s).

Chapter presidents and those outstanding Federationists who are planning on
contributing an item and/or basket to the auction, please be advised that
Saturday, April 6 is the last day to get: item descriptions; fair market
value; and suggested starting bids to me for guaranteed braille
transcription.  Item descriptions received after Saturday, April 6 will not
be guaranteed the opportunity to be brailled; please help me make this
auction as successful and accessible as possible for all of our members.
Please send donor information: name; social media information (Twitter
handle or Facebook page); and website if applicable by April 6th as well.
