Way to go, Rachel!! You absolutely ROCK!!!!Originally Posted by Rachel Readman
Seriously? WE MADE IT!!!! YEY!!!!
T-Dogz, that is a very lovely gesture. Bill is a bloody pest j/kbut he has to get that grand prize one year to reward all the effort he puts into rallying the troops and making the fundraiser work out each year. Good for you and I'll match you on that too. Bill gets my entries.
Including his own, Bill now has a combined total of 30 entries in the Grand Prize Draw!!!
We are not quite yet to the $15K goal. We are over $14.5K, and WILL make the goal, but we are just a small bit shy.
Small bit? Like, do I have to get the paints and pencils out again small bit? I'll do it, don't make me, because I will if you force me to have to.
Selling EVERYTHING! Come and get it!
(Except my Gunslinger First Edition. That ain't going nowhere. It's the only one I'm keeping, can't let that go)
Should be more like 40, he's got mine too!Way to go, Rachel!! You absolutely ROCK!!!!Seriously? WE MADE IT!!!! YEY!!!!

woooow.,.,that's amazing guys.,.,
Whoa, guys!!! I was just doing my traditional prediction joke. I appreciate the gesture and it makes me feel great, but I takes my chances just like everyone else. Besides there are an awful lot of folks that contribute to make this a success each year. I'm just the guy with the target on his back. A whole heck of a lot of you folks put in great effort to make this a success each year.

For the record, if anyone deserves an honor & recognition like this it is, Jerome. I may get a lot of the "Bling" for my efforts on behalf of the Haven Fund, but NO ONE does as much to make this happen each year as he does. Jerome, keeps the accounting, posts the auctions, packages & ships the books, posts the auction threads, deals/coordinates with me, helps in the solicitation of donors, stores the donated items, updates the progress on the site and probably 25 other things I have not listed here. And he is not even eligible to be included in the drawing!!!
So, as much as I appreciate the gesture on your part (and I really appreciate it!!), I would like to dedicate my ten entries on his behalf. If, I do win it will be dedicated to "Jerome, from the Haven Fund Whore"!!! I appreciate my title and the fact that for 5 months of the year I am sort of a "Staff Member". I also take a lot of pride in my place on "The Wall". That is more than enough for me.

I can't win any of the prizes (most of them I would simply give to myself)
I am ineligible for the Grand Prize.
I will not accept someone else winning the GP and "forwarding" it to me.
Sorry.
No.
End of that line of thinking.
Please move along.
Well, there you have it. Everyone is on their own. Best of luck to you all!!!

It seems everyone wants to give away the Grand Prize this year... I'll take it!
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
It does, doesn't it? LOL Now that we have gotten the sentimental stuff out of the way, I'll be winning it on my own!! LOLIt seems everyone wants to give away the Grand Prize this year... I'll take it!
I was talking with, RF earlier and I think its just amazing that this community has managed to surpass the goal each and every year since, 2011!!! No small feat and you should all pat yourselves on the back. Big or small, every contribution counts and you folks, collectively, are an amazing bunch. For make no mistake, it is not, Jerome, T-Dog, Stroppy, Rachel or myself that make this a success every year. It is ALL of us working together that make it happen!!!

Very true Bill, without EVERYONE it simply wouldn't happen.

Is there still time before the Grand Prize to put in a donation?
does the current total include the last auction still in progress? if not, then we have not just reached the goal - we smashed it!
