It's a holiday celebration; it's a birthday party! ACB's third annual Holiday Auction will be coming to you live on ACB Radio from Louisville, Ky. on Sunday, Dec. 7, from 7 to 11 p.m. Eastern (4 to 8 p.m. Pacific). Kick off the holiday season in style AND celebrate ACB Radio's 15th birthday - all at the same time. Join in the fun from anywhere in the country, from any computer or any telephone.
The 2013 ACB Holiday Auction was a huge success. Packed with yummy holiday treats and great gift ideas, the auction raised over $5,000 for ACB Radio.
The ACB Radio staff and brand-new Holiday Auction Committee are teaming up to bring you a wonderful shopping experience and the perfect opportunity to support ACB Radio! Whether you are searching for that special gift for a loved one or a holiday surprise for yourself, the Holiday Auction has it all: sparkling jewelry, mouth-watering holiday cookies and fudge, exquisite music boxes, and gifts for everyone on your list (even your dog).
Donating Items: Individuals, chapters, affiliates and businesses are invited to contribute items to the Holiday Auction. Contact Brian Charlson by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at (617) 926-9198 for more information. When donating an item, provide item descriptions to Brian, and ship all items except baked goods by Monday, Nov. 3, to the ACB Minnesota office, 6300 Shingle Creek Pkwy., Suite 195, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430. All donors will be recognized on our Holiday Auction preview pages on the ACB web site and on air during the auction.
Bidding and Buying: Auction preview pages will once again be available on the ACB website by mid-November. Browse the preview pages and choose the items on which you plan to bid. On Dec. 7 between 7 and 11 p.m. Eastern, tune in to ACB Radio by computer or telephone for all the fun, and be ready to call and place your bids.
Watch for more holiday and birthday celebration surprises in the November "ACB Braille Forum," and thanks in advance for your support of ACB Radio.
