>> All right all you listers out there. I've been asked to raise some money for the affiliate at next weekend's convention in Vancouver. I have a little experience as an amateur auctioneer, so contemplate selling some good things during convention sessions and at other times too. Please do what you can to get us some excellent items, those things that you think would sell big time. Remember you may get lucky and get merchandise from small stores near you. It doesn't hurt to ask.  We need items. You could sell things other than merchandise too. I remember Marty Cartwright selling massage opportunities for those who needed stress reduction. Others has sold home cooked meals at the house of the seller or the buyer in some cases. WE've had baked goods, remember Kaye's loaded brownies? Yum! If you to needle work, (and I don't mean with illicit drugs), you could keep us in stitches by donating something you've made or offer to make. If you are an IT person, you could offer a few hours of training on various accessible devices, etc. Bring the merchandise, or just creat a certificate, in Braille or print, explaining what the buyer will receive and how to hook up with him/her.

>> New items are best for the auction. On a few occasions, gently used items such as a slightly used but in good condition Victor Reader Stream have been considered.
>> All items will be eligible, but since we can use door prizes from the list as well, don't be shy about bringing something. We will thank you for raising funds for your NFB of Washington.
>> 
>> See you and your items next weekend.
