That's why it's all hands on deck to make sure that we have a good selection of valuables and eatables available. I am asking each of you to:<br>Make a personal donation of an item that could be used as a door prize or sold in the auction,<br>Talk to any chapters or divisions of which you are a member about donating items, and<br>Fill out this google form with the details of the contribution <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfHTEi5SzHeKmlFV-OCX1t8453pe1OqEgoPuJGiNGV6dFpnxA/viewform?usp=sf_link">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfHTEi5SzHeKmlFV-OCX1t8453pe1OqEgoPuJGiNGV6dFpnxA/viewform?usp=sf_link</a><br>Potential door prizes or auction items might include<br>Electronics<br>Gift cards<br>Baked goods<br>Jewelry<br>Or whatever you can dream up.<br>You could contact local businesses to have items donated, or you could purchase them yourself. Remember that the Oregon affiliate of the NFB is a nonprofit to which donations our tax deductible.<br><br>"we have found stores and restaurants to be pretty helpful.
