[Nfbc-info] Chapter Baskets for NFBC State Convention

[Jeri siqueiros]

Calling All California Chapters:
 
The 2012 National Federation of the Blind of California is excited to announce that our state convention is around the corner. October 18th-23rdNFBC will gather at The Embassy Suites in Los Angeles. Last year, the NFBC Affiliate had a very successful basket auction. We are proud to invite all chapters to please donate a basket for the auction. Last year chapters had basket "themes" (i.e.Movie Lovers, Coffee, Technology, Bath, etc) and they were great!
 
This year we would like to ask that there be a high end and low end auction making it possible for all Federationists to get involved with the auction and bid. To assist in making this possible The Southwest Riverside COunty Chapter is asking that all chapter presidents bring the idea to your next chapter meeting and get ideas from chapter members. Planning ahead will allow chapters to either get donations or purchase items to put in the baskets.  Prior to convention chapters will be told where and who they can give baskets to upon arrival at hotel.
 
We are asking that when a decision has been made on your chapters theme please contact Jeri Siqueiros-Ramirez (Southwest Riverside County President) and give her your name and basket's theme. Her email is jsiqueiros111 at gmail or you can call her 951-445-2520. NFBC would like to thank you and is looking forward to a successful convention and seeing you all there!
