2011 CCAA CALL AUCTION
By JAMES BENNETT

April is coming fast and the call auction is shaping up to be an outstanding sale. With many confirmed items ranging from older calls to just made show calls, there should be something for every collector. The sale will be held this year on Thursday evening April 28th at 6 pm. This will also be the clubs pizza party for our members. There are still a few spots left in the auction line-up and there are also spots for the silent auction available. If you are interested in selling a call, please contact me at Jameshbjr@aol.com or 813-310-8875. You do not have to be a member to sell a call or buy one. The fee is 10% of the final auction price in the live auction. This goes to the club. That's IT. We also take donated calls that the club sales to help pay for our newsletter and activities. Last year, Kent Bowers and Jim Dester donated calls and I would like to again thank them for that great gift to our organization.

Here is a list of calls that will be up for sale with a few pictures. Many will be in the Fancy Call Show on Friday morning. Here is a chance to own a Blue Ribbon call before the show and the calls price goes up if it wins. If you would like to bid on a call and will not be attending the show, you can call or email me and I will bid for you.
