Hear Ye!  Hear Ye!  The NFB of Virginia will be having an Auction at its state convention in Historic Fredericksburg, Virginia – November 9-11, 2018


 


Bring your donated items to the convention.  We will 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 12, 2018.  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.
