Tracy Soforenko ACTION AUCTION 2019

Hear Ye!  Hear Ye!  The NFB of Virginia will be having an Auction at its
state convention in Portsmouth, Virginia – November 1-3, 2019

Bring your donated items to the convention.  We will be accepting items on
Friday.  We’ll be auctioning a few items Friday morning at the Board
meeting.  Then just like last year there will be tables set up with the
items offered.  Other auction items will be offered in the meeting room
during the morning session on Saturday, at the Banquet Saturday Night and in
the meeting room on Sunday morning.

It is important for you to be at all the meetings and the banquet.
Otherwise you might miss out on your favorite auction item.  Items will be
displayed outside the main meeting room on Friday and in the main meeting
room on Saturday and Sunday.  On Friday the Action auction volunteers will
accept items for auction and describe each item to all who stop by.

We will accept cash, checks or debit/credit cards.  All payments need to be
received by noon on Sunday, November 3, 2019.  Individual restrictions and
expiration dates apply.  Please see the items for details.  We have many
great items and little time so we will be conducting the auction FAST! 

For your convenience, we have listed the items we currently have to offer.
There will be additions to this list as we expect more items to arrive.  The
items will not be presented for bid in the order of this list – but by whim
of the Auctioneer.
