Anthrocon 2003 Charity Auction Followup (7/24/03)
Rigel
Charity Auction, our deepest thanks for making this our second biggest
year. Great thanks to our charity, Support Our Shelters (SOS), as
well for providing us with a panel on their ferrets and their
organization. They're already talking and networking about who they
can help, asking the shelters they know and which shelters they have
heard are in the most need. Put in terms of how much help they can
give to the ferrets who live in shelters, the money you raised can pay
for 30-50 major surgeries which can extend the lives and increase the
quality of life for 30-50 ferrets!
I'd also like to thank Anthrocon's esteemed chairman, Dr. Samuel
Conway, also known as Kagemushi, for his assistance in auctioneering.
He is an accomplished speaker and helpful friend and talented
auctioneer.
Last and certainly not least, I wish to thank my staff who worked
diligently as table guards, movers, and runners throughout Friday,
Saturday, and the Auction itself: Tango, AlaskanWolf, Galen, Mrianti,
P.Pardus, Tet Solfire, creature, JBadger, and Trixi with additional
help from Windsinger and Ka Crow. I would also like to thank Triggur
and his tech staff for their photo broadcasting equipment that allowed
us to see every item on the big screen on stage. That saves us a lot
of effort.
In 2002, we auctioned a total of 90 items. This year, we received
even more items (114) and raised $8348! I can't thank enough the
generosity of those who purchased and donated cash during the Charity
Auction. I also can't thank the donors enough, who selflessly provide
us with material to raise money for such worthy causes year after
year.
