GIVE TO THE 2016 ACTION AUCTION
(2ND announcement)

Hear Ye!  Hear Ye!  The NFB of Virginia will be having an Auction at its state convention in Virginia Beach - November 11-13, 2016.  We need good NEW, HAND-MADE or ANTIQUE ITEMS to auction.   Please contact Jacki Brown: 703-534-0747/ jacquelinestonebrown at comcast.net<mailto:jacquelinestonebrown at comcast.net> to tell her what you plan to donate.  She'll be releasing the information about what is being offered at least a week before the convention via email.  PLEASE DONATE NOW!

Then bring your donated items to the convention.  We will accepting items Thursday evening, Friday morning and Friday afternoon.  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 first near registration and then in the meeting area.
We will accept cash or checks.  All payments need to be received by noon on Sunday, November 1, 2015.  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.

We are near the holiday season: Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza, New Year's Eve, Charlie and Stephen Brown's birthdays...some of these items would make great gifts!

Remember - this is our chance to raise money for ourselves in a fun way - also a way to buy only previously dreamed of luxuries from our friends.
