[Nfbv-announce] Action Auction

[Fredric Schroeder]

Action Auction at our Virginia Convention run by Auctioneer, 
Jacki Brown

Starting this Friday through Sunday, there will be many items 
auctioned at our State Convention in Falls Church, VA.  On 
Friday, most items will be on display.  Look for the Auction 
items displayed in the Hall near our conference rooms.  You may 
preview the items described and place "silent" bids on them.  On 
Saturday and Sunday, those "silent" bids will be the opening 
price asked for the item.  If no one else bids, then you have the 
item.  If they do, then you'd better be there to speak up ...  or 
it will be forever lost to you.

All those contributing items please bring them to the Hall on 
Friday or contact me Thursday.
