I’m very excited to be attending another Friends of NRA event tonight, this one sponsored by the Central Arizona chapter. Am I hoping to win another fine firearm like the one we won last year at this same event? Not this time.
I WANT THE TOASTER.
It’s not just a toaster. It not only creates a perfectly golden and crispy treat, it also brands the NRA logo on to each slice. The toaster was part of the live auction at the last Friends of NRA dinner we attended earlier this year, but because it was part of a special, larger auction (the high bidder of the toaster also won a chance at a DPMS AR-15), the toaster commanded a hefty sum. The final bid was $375.00. For a toaster. Ouch.
I’ve got my fingers crossed that the toaster makes another appearance tonight, this time without any other offers that will drive the price beyond my reach. Wish me luck!

No one on my committee believed me that the toaster would be a big item when I mentioned it. They had to find out for themselves when they went to the last area banquet.
Yes, there will be a toaster. It’s part of the standard prize package that every committee buys. Our dinner is in September, and I already know there will be a bidding war on it.
Some committees do a “pick of the litter” raffle where the winner gets to pick one item off of the live auction prizes before the auction starts. That’s one way to try for it.
