ACTION AUCTION 2022

Hear Ye!  Hear Ye!  The NFB of Virginia will be having an Auction at its
state convention in Tysons Corner, Virginia – October 28 -30, 2022.

Bring your donated items to the convention.  We will be accepting items on
Thursday at registration and Friday.  We’ll be auctioning a few items Friday
morning at the General Session.  Then just like past in-person conventions,
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 in the Oaks 3 Ballroom during the exhibit hall 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, October 30, 2022.  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 at
Convention.  The items will not be presented for bid in the order of this
list – but by whim of the Auctioneer.
