NEW RECORD SET FOR NAT'L ASSN OF FARM BROADCASTING FOUNDATION'S AUCTION
Dec. 3, 2012
National Association of Farm Broadcasting (NAFB) reports:
by Ken Anderson, President, NAFB Foundation
The 2012 NAFB Foundation Auction was a record success this year. Through the generosity of those who graciously donated items and those who were the high bids on the auction items, we raised over $22,000 for the Foundation, setting a new record!
We had 75 silent auction items and 13 live auction items this year. I was thrilled by how many of our membership and those outside of our membership who didn't hesitate in donating items knowing the great work the NAFB Foundation auction does for the farm broadcasting industry.
I want to thank the Foundation Auction Committee for their tremendous work in making the auction a record year. My thanks to Sally Behringer (MustangRED Communications, Lawerence, KS), Haylie Shipp (Northern Ag Network, Billings, MT), DeAnna Thomas (WMBD/WIRL Radio, Peoria, IL), Ty Higgins (Ohio Ag Net, Columbus, OH), and Carah Hart (Osborn Barr Communications, Kansas City, MO).
The Committee would also like to extend special thanks to Orion Samuelson, WGN Radio, Chicago, IL, for his generosity in donating the first two copies of his new book, "You Can't Dream Big Enough", and for his help putting together the Chicago trip package.
Thanks to all of you who donated items and thanks to all who purchased auction items. My mind is already thinking ahead for the 70th Annual NAFB Convention and what we can do to make the NAFB Foundation Auction another great success.
