So from here on out, if you want to become a "minion", ask a "minion". We will still be accepting and welcoming new additions, just will not be soliciting is all.

You do know that you are, by far, my most favorite female, artistic, British, Haven Fund contributor, right?

As to "Bomber". Let's share him. When he's "Bad Bomber", I'll send to you for a week. How about that? LOL

Also, yes. I was talking to, Jerome the other day and though it is somewhat "unofficial" (he didn't go back and check) we both agree that this year we did indeed set a record for the "widget goal". Now the job is to top last year's overall goal!!

We are in the "End Game" now when it really counts!! There are a select few auction items, but the "Widget" and the "Rachel Readman" items will make the difference. Go forth and raise funds!!!

Well, it is no longer "Early", but we did it folks!!! We have surpassed the stated goal and there is perhaps still more items to come!! So, now I can "officially" thank all the wonderful members of this unique internet community for their generosity and charity in making this years' HF a success!!!

It's amazing that you have all not banded together to hire a "Hit Man" to come for me (maybe "Mr. Mercede's"?), but thanks to all of you for putting up with my antics on behalf of the HF. Thanks to the artists, the donors', the the "Haven Fund Whore henchmen" and the buyers' for all your dedicated support!!! You all have once again reaffirmed a faith in humanity!! Many thanks!!!

You folks are just priceless!!

A very special "THANK YOU" to my "Partner in Crime", Jerome who makes it all happen every year!!! You folks have no idea just how much he dedicates to this thing year in and year out!! :clap::clap::clap:

Many thanks from all the HF "Management" for your help and support!!! Without your participation and generosity this would be a doomed venture!!! Thanks again and we will see you next year!!!!

Bill, I know a lot of praise goes to the members and RF for their work/donations etc each year, and while the goals set couldn't be reached without a combined effort, I'd like to say a big thank you to you for the work you put in.

I know there were some comments made throughout the fundraising period that shouldn't have been made (IMO) from some members that had a bit of an impact on your presence here, but I'm glad to see you've continued to do your magic throughout, and hope you won't step back too far next year!

So Bill, great work my friend and thank you for all your efforts!

I'm hoping a little thank you gift may have arrived by now???

Well, I truly understand that some do not quite "get" where my enthusiasm for this comes from and that is quite okay. I don't really do well with "Thank You's", but nonetheless I appreciate your thoughts and well wishes. To me it's all about raising funds for a good cause. I apologize to those I have offended in my zealousness. I really do think the "Haven Fund" needs a new "Face", but I intend to help out behind the scenes as much, if not more so, if someone else is willing to take the "Mantle".

I realize now that it is probably too late, but no thank you's, gifts or otherwise are necessary. I do what I do for my own reasons is all.


Of course, someone has to make, Jerome look good!!!! Ouch, just ducked a thrown plate!!! LOL LOL Now where the hell did that come from? LOL Many thanks to all of you absolutely wonderful and generous people!!!

While I appreciate the unnecessary "thank you's", the real person to thank is, Jerome. I may break his balls more than most, but he by far, does the work required to make this a success every year!! Jerome? :clap::clap::clap:

As far as the HF goes, the names may change, but the overall participation remains remarkably consistent. Nevertheless, this is an extremely "giving and generous" community and you can all give yourselves a pat on the back!! Amazing folks are found here!!!

It isn't "official" (until, Jerome, The "Director" says), but I think by my crude calculations that we have again entered new territory for the overall, Grand Total of this year' HAVEN Fundraiser!!!

I'd like to add my personal thanks to Bill and Jerome for letting me play this year. :) It's been great fun and I've enjoyed every minute of it!
Some of you that also got down and dirty will know just how much of both Bill's and Jerome's time is taken up with this, not just during the official fund raising period but for a considerable part of the preceding year getting items ready for auction, brow beating artists and publishers, etc. On that note, a big thank you to all the artists as well who have produced some great work - lets not forget folks this is their job - it's the same as you and I going to work for a week (or more) and donating all our wages to charity!

Finally thanks every one who donated. Start saving, next year will be even better!

I'd like to add my personal thanks to Bill and Jerome for letting me play this year. :) It's been great fun and I've enjoyed every minute of it!
Some of you that also got down and dirty will know just how much of both Bill's and Jerome's time is taken up with this, not just during the official fund raising period but for a considerable part of the preceding year getting items ready for auction, brow beating artists and publishers, etc. On that note, a big thank you to all the artists as well who have produced some great work - lets not forget folks this is their job - it's the same as you and I going to work for a week (or more) and donating all our wages to charity!

Finally thanks every one who donated. Start saving, next year will be even better!

Wow feels weird to see my old Avatar again :unsure:

Hey, I do all the "Thanking" around here, mate!! LOL Seriously though, you were a LOT of help and I look forward to working with you again next year. Even though my role will be much more subdued.

I hear all you folks out there going, "Finally, we'll be rid of that ass"!!! LOL

Well, now it doesn't seem to be so premature!!! Many thanks to all my "Minions" this year, who helped us reach, yet again, unprecedented heights in our Fund Raising goals!! The official/unofficial grand total is $13,750.00!! So we kinda blew past the stated goal, once again!!! Great Job, folks!!! "Minions" was definitely this years' flavor. What will next years' be?

I think I speak for all when I say that in addition to raising a crap load of money for a good cause, we all had a blast doing so!!

My humble "Thanks" to everyone on this site that even participated. The smallest contribution leads directly to the largest!!

Thanks again and, See you all next year!!!












It's "Official", you may all return, as you wish, to your previous "Avatars and Sigs". Many thanks!!!
