Hi Anna, thank you so much for your continuous help in spreading the word about the auction. We appreciate your participation and generosity. We have added two new features to this year’s auction. We know that there are some shoppers who are unable to bid on items but do want to contribute to the cause so we have added a store which will allow them to purchase items and the proceeds go towards the auction the link is http://www.cafepress.com/brendanovaksonlinediabetesauction. We have also added a blog which will have updates of the auction, items that are currently being spotlighted, and much more. The link to visit is http://bnauctionblog.tumblr.com/. Thank you again for helping us to make a difference.

Danita, you also need to add a year's worth of workshops (12) donated by Hearts Through History RWA's chapter. That's one a month for 12 months. Offered workshops are on both craft and historical topics. Value is $220, current bid is $50...a great BARGAIN!
