146 The Lucid Push to Talk Radio

Donated by Kim Charlson

The Simple PTT Lucid: A Push-to-Talk Radio Built with the Blindness Community in Mind, offers something remarkable: the reach of a nationwide radio network, without the limitations of traditional two-way radio. Whether you are coordinating a volunteer emergency response, connecting with fellow hobbyists across the country, or simply staying in touch with a group of friends spread across the world, push to talk radios deliver clear, reliable communication wherever a cellular signal exists. Simple PTT, a U.S.-based radio provider run by Scott Johnson known in the community as “The Magician” for his ability to make things happen. He was approached by a visually impaired user who saw an opportunity. Jed Barton, known online as JetN1JBC, raised the subject of accessibility directly with Johnson, explaining that the blind and low-vision community represented not just a market, but a group of people who genuinely stand to benefit from reliable push-to-talk communication. The 2026 Lucid is a nationwide PTT walkie-talkie from Simple PTT. It operates over cellular networks using a multi-carrier SIM that floats between AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, meaning coverage follows you across the country rather than being tied to any single carrier’s footprint. The hardware itself is compact, and it measures just 1.18 inches deep by 1.97 inches wide by 3.74 inches tall. There are seven buttons total: a push-to-talk button on the left side, volume up and down, and four buttons across the front face beneath the display. Under the hood, the Lucid carries a 4800mAh battery capable of all-day talk time and up to seven days on standby. It charges via USB-C, supports fast charging, and handles a wide range of LTE bands. For audio fidelity, it uses a high-sensitivity microphone combined with AI-driven noise cancellation that the manufacturer claims eliminates over 95 percent of background noise. The radios come with one year of cellular coverage included. After the auction, registration will be transferred to the winner for customer support and renewal next year.

151 Illinois Royal Blue Zip Tote

Donated by Blind Girl Designs Tricia Waechter

The state where I was born, Illinois, is a long and narrow state. The northern border is just a straight line as is the northeast border. The balance of the state waivers all around as it follows all the rivers in the circumference of the state. In the straight lines, we put white canes. In the northeast corner the straps of the white canes touch, with a bit of blue underneath them. This is a nod to Lake Michigan. The balance of the state lines are drawn by an aqua stream that runs around the entire state, indicating all the rivers that make up the borders. In the far northern part of the print bursts an energetic bustling city Chicago, of course! The city is so energetic that the Ferris wheel at Navy pier is almost bursting out of the state. The city landmarks are line drawn in black and light gray and beneath this bustling metropolis is a swath of green, like grass. Across the width of the state on the grass is the word Illinois in a slight arch and the letters are bold collegiate letters in white. The contrast with the grass is beautiful and beneath the letters are Illinois in tactile white grade one braille. That’s not even close to being all of Illinois. Beneath the word Illinois sprouts another city, and it is also line drawn in black and light gray. It’s Springfield, of course, with its distinctive classical capital building complete with columns and dome. We are not done yet, at the bottom of the print, on the right, is a beautiful little red barn next to a silver silo and to the left of the barn are undulating fields with rows and rows of beautiful crops. There is a nice blue sky with just a few clouds floating by with a beautiful setting. We used our white Plastisol ink on this tote bag to ensure the bag lasts for years. This tote is 15 inch by 20-inch full zip canvas bag with a folded bottom so it can sit upright and a zip pocket on the inside as well! It has generous straps, so you can swing it over your shoulder and do not wash the bag. Enjoy your Blind Girl Designs!

Next to the hibiscus on the far left is a white cane running from the top of the print to the bottom. My white cane runs from the top left all the way across the top of the word Hawaii and running across the bottom of the print in white tactile braille, it says “Hawaii Association of the Blind.” It does not say it in words, but it says it in braille! On the polo shirt on the left chest to the left of the buttons, it says Hawaii outlined in the same font as on the back of the shirt in white ink.

211 Wisconsin Navy Sweatshirt Fleece Fabric Blanket Donated by blind Girl Designs Tricia Waechter

You will love having this beautiful Wisconsin blanket. In the center of the print is a very clear rising sun. It is almost yellow white in the morning. Beneath the rising sun are the scrubby pines and oaks starting with a grey-green color, evolving to an olive color then deepening to a forest green. At the base of the trees on either side rise incredible towers of sandstone in red, oranges, and browns. What makes these monoliths so impressive is that not only are they created by nature, but they grow scrubby trees on top, and these Wisconsin Dell formations are awesome, inspiring, and amazing! At the bottom of the formations, of course, is water, glistening in shades of aqua and blue. Transposed over the water across the entire print is the word Wisconsin in a deep yellow clean font and beneath the word Wisconsin there is an arch in the art and in that arch is Wisconsin in Golden tactile braille. Framing the art on the left side is a white cane, and framing the art on the right side is also a white cane. Above the sun in the sky, there are yellow and golden rays emanating from the sun, all the way to the end of the art. At the very top of the print on either side where the handles of the white canes are framing the print, we added art deco arches in yellow to complement the beautiful sun and sky. It adds such a beautiful artistic element to the art and a nod to the historic nature of the Wisconsin Dell as a popular tourist attraction for several centuries. Enjoy wrapping yourself in the comfort of your favorite hoodie with the super soft fifty by 60 inches hemmed blanket. The blanket is crafted from plush, fleece-backed sweatshirt fabric and it offers the perfect balance of warmth and breathability. The smooth, jersey-feel exterior and fluffy interior make it ideal for snuggling on the couch, adding an extra layer of comfort to your bed or keeping warm. This blanket drapes beautifully and feels so comfy! It’s perfect for a nice night on the couch or at the stadium. It is cozy, casual, and irresistibly soft and it will be your new go-to blanket for every season and a great gift item all year round! Enjoy your Blind Girl Designs!

219 EWO Black Labrador

Donated by Kansas Association of the Blind

EWO is a life-sized black labrador, plush, and incredibly soft and cuddly. He is two foot two inches in height and 33 inches from tip of nose to tail. EWO stands for Eyes Wide Open, which was a golf tournament which our affiliate sponsored along with a local Lions Club. Unfortunately, it was an ageing Club, and they became unable to sponsor it with us anymore. During the tournament’s years, the Lions had a stuffed lion mascot, and EWO became our mascot for the tournament. After the end of the tournament, he has been a decoration in the Kansas affiliate office for the past several years. He was telling me today that he misses being out on the golf circuit, and he is bored just standing in our office. He wants a change of pace. He is in excellent condition, and comes with a KSDS Harness, a leash, a brush, and a bowl. We love EWO, but he is asking for a change of pace in his retirement, and he is excited to be offered as an auction item!
