Welcome to the CCB Happenings for October 4.
CCB Auction Update:
The auction is coming soon! We will be holding our live CCB auction on Sunday October 20th, from 3 to 7 p.m., using a Zoom conference line. However, as part of the auction, early bidding will be allowed by submitting bids to the office starting on Wednesday, October 2, and proceeding on Wednesday through Friday for each subsequent week through Friday, October 18th. Bids will only be taken by phone between the hours of 9 a.m. and noon on those days. In order to bid, you will need to register for the auction by providing the following information to the CCB office: Your name, phone number, email address if applicable and mailing address.
A list of auction items has been distributed to our various CCB lists. If you have not seen it please ask your chapter president or contact the CCB office to have it sent to you.
If you have any questions you can contact the Auction Committee at auction@ccbnet.org
or call Andrea DeKlotz, auction co-chair, at: 714-921-0289 for more information.
Audio Versions of the Blind Californian:
As you know, CCB no longer publishes an audio version of the BC. However, it is available on the NFB Newsline service. For more information read Linda Porelle's article "The future of the BLIND Californian" in the Winter 2019 BC. Although the BC is available through the NFB Newsline phone service and mobile phone apps, it is not available on the VictorStream which does access other Newsline content. We hope to have this remedied soon.
Thank you for your understanding.
