Hello everyone,

I have some unique auction items this  year, and I wanted you to know about
them in advance in case you want to  send me an email about them, or think
about folks you know who just might  like to bid on something here.  This
auction is important to all of us  because it's a great money raiser for the
affiliate.  And it's fun,  too!  That's why I'm giving you a preview of some
of the items, since  you might want to do some research on them, or contact
me by email, or at  the hotel prior to the auction.

1.  VIP 2000 Talking Thermostat,  never used.  It works with most
conventional systems, and can replace  most 2, 3, 4 or 5 wire analog or
digital thermostats.  This includes  heat pumps, but NOT if the heat pump is
equipped with a switch to turn on  auxiliary heat.  That's why we couldn't
use it in our house.   It's programmable, and has push buttons which speak
the current temperature  and indicates the temp as you arrow up or down.  We
love our   current VIP, which supports auxiliary heat.  But if your heat  
pump
doesn't have this feature, then the talking thermostat I'm putting in  the
auction would be fine for you.

2.  Braille and Speak  2000
It's in fine condition, and still holds a charge well.  It comes  with the
charger and the serial cable which allows you to connect it to  your
computer.  We have a text version of the manual, so if you should  purchase
this Braille and Speak, we'll be glad to email the manual to  you.  If you
miss your old BNS that stopped working, or if you would  like to get
something inexpensive for your child, then this is what you're  looking for.
I now use a BrailleNote, but my BnS served me well for a long  time.  And 
one
of the best things about it is that it's so very small  and light weight.

The following two items have been generously donated  by Chuck Marchese, one
of our Tampa Bay chapter members, a very astute and  knowledgeable coin
collector.
3.  mint packaged 1/10 oz American  Eagle  1989 proof gold $5 commemorative
coinwith certificate of  authenticity

4.  mint packaged 1/4 oz 1997 Franklin Roosevelt  proof gold $5 
commemorative
coin w/COA
With gold currently selling for  over $1200 per ounce, it's a great
investment!

5.  And now to  switch gears...you NASCAR fans will  appreciate this number
99 Carl  Edwards bear, dressed in his driving finest.  Very cute  and
collectible!

6.  silver heart necklace with the Braille  word "love" on the heart

7.  Spode Christmas dish, scalloped  around the edge with a Christmas tree
pattern, never used, in its original  box, retails for  $55
