Coming together

Well the auction seems to be coming together in the traditional awesome way. 

We tried a new system for ticket sales that went over very well.  We had a line up outside the 50+ Club starting at 9:30.  That was amazing to see.  Our first sale was for 20 tickets.  The Pay Pal account worked very well.  I was very nervous about how that would all work together.  But it went very smoothly.  We found a new system that really worked for us. 

We sold 131 tickets in the first 15 minutes.  At the end of the four hours we only had 29 tickets left.  We are down a few more tickets now.  I think we only have 19 left.  I am very happy that we are almost completely done.  It was very easy to get the tickets sold, letters addressed and mailed out in the same few hours.  So much simpler. 

Items are rolling in.  We have some amazing things coming in.  We are grateful for the generosity of people every day.  And as if a reminder of what we do, we have an application waiting for a woman who had exhausted her EI disability and is still taking chemo and radiation.  She will need thousands to keep food on the table until she can return to work in the summer time.  IF she can return to work. 

And there but by the grace of God, go I.
