[Nfbv-announce] Action Fund Preliminary list from Jacki - Please Post

[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

Richmond, VA.  On Friday, most items will be on display.  Look for the
Auction items displayed in the Hall near our conference rooms. You will find
many of the items described and may 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.  Charlie and I should be in the hotel by 6:00 pm
Thursday evening.
