The time is here and the Michigan affiliate of the National Federation of
the Blind is so excited to invite you all to embrace the convention
spirit and spoil yourselves! Usually, our members would get together at
convention and storm the exhibit hall, intent on buying all the items we
need, and some we don’t. That’s alright though, because it is the
spirit of the family reunion we have every summer. <br><br>
This year, our affiliate fundraising committee is here with the goods.
Beginning at 7pm today and closing on July 10, the Michigan affiliate has
raised the exhibit hall stakes with our “Summer of Tech” virtual
auction! This online contest , held on the 32 Auctions platform, is an
accessible, straight-forward way of being able to showcase to the entire
nation the generous donations that our affiliate received over the past
few months. We have something for everyone’s tastes, both low-tech and
hi-tech, with comparable prices that make you feel that you are seriously
at a convention. We also have some items that are not technology based,
just in case you’re not into that kind of thing. Some of our
donated items include
<ul>
<li>SMART Televisions
<li>Apple Products
<li>Assistive Tech Training Sessions
<li>Women’s Spa Baskets
</ul><br>
<br><br>
So please, join us in bidding by clicking the link and registering for
the 32 Auctions platform. The rules are simple in that each of the items
has a starting bid price and will indicate, as the bids come in, where
the item’s price currently stands. Remember, keep checking on your item
during the next week to assure that you will have a chance to win and can
outbid your oponents. When bidding closes at 9pm on July 10, you will
receive an alert if you won the item and then will be prompted for
payment and shipping. If you have any questions about this bidding
process, feel free to reach out to me at
<a href="mailto:Robert.E.Parsons@wmich.edu">Robert.E.Parsons@wmich.edu</a>
. Happy bidding and may the odds ever be in your favor.<br><br>
