Attention all you anglers looking for a bargain on gear and goodies. The AFF Annual Fundraising Auction is scheduled for Friday, 12 April 2012, and we are into our final preparation month. We really need two things:

1. Donations

a. Members who can donate used but serviceable gear should contact one of the volunteers listed below, to find out how to get the items to us.

b. Members who have gear that they wish to sell, rather than donate, and want to give AFF members first shot before it goes on Craigslist or eBay, should contact one of the volunteers to determine whether it’s a fit for the auction and to make appropriate arrangements.

c. Members who know of someone or some business/organization that might donate something suitable should contact them soon. If it’s a business or organization that might have donated in the past, the member should contact one of the volunteers to find out whether that organization has already been solicited. (Don’t want to annoy donors by double-tapping them for donations.)

d. We would like to have all donations identified by 3 April, and delivered by 8 April.

2. Volunteers

We still need additional volunteers to help us during the week of the auction and, especially, during the auction itself. If you are able to help – and/or are able to browbeat someone into helping – please let us know by e-mail, phone, or during the March meeting.

Thanks to all.
