Thank you all so much

1. Thank you all so much for your generosity and your wonderful, wonderful donations of time, money, and support. I can't tell you how much this auction has taught me.
2. Special thank you to giandujakiss for her patience and help.
3. I'm calling all debts as paid and trusting that those of you who have yet to fulfill your donation will do so on your own honor.
4. I'm looking to make this a yearly event so some time before the winter holidays I will be taking suggestions for a new charity to support. I would like it to be something international so that the monies can go toward the locality of the bidder...

Let me know also if there's anything you think I could do next time. I'm working on getting the donation portion smoothed out so there's no confusion there.

Again, thanks so much for all that you've done. We had one heck of a first run.... more than $5,000! :)

Unless something comes up that needs it more when you are thinking about doing it again, I'd like to suggest we do something to promote literacy. It could be a "donate to any of the charities on this list" thing, since there are a number of them, or it could be a single charity specifically to promote it in countries that need it most if we want it to be something international bidders can get behind.

I like it. I'll keep it in mind for later. I'm going to run a poll so that everyone can vote.
