graduate_maria update

[rm]

Donations are still coming in from the last round of auctions, but right now we've raised about $2,000 for theotoky through graduate_maria.

The second round of auctions has been launched.

This includes items from round 1 that did not receive bids as well as items from
vashtan (http://community.livejournal.com/graduate_maria/13979.html and http://community.livejournal.com/graduate_maria/13815.html),
labellerose (http://community.livejournal.com/graduate_maria/14516.html),
yourlibrarian (http://community.livejournal.com/graduate_maria/15052.html),
neadods (http://community.livejournal.com/graduate_maria/15226.html),
and myself (http://community.livejournal.com/graduate_maria/14594.html).

If you wish to donate something, feel free to add an item to the community! Ask me if you need help.

Bidding on all auctions will close on 8/8 at 11:59pm EST, and that will be the end of this project, as that's our time deadline. Maria is looking for funding sources off-line, and it is our hope that if we don't reach the full $5,000, the dent we've put in the amount will be enough to help her pull enough resources together for her last semester.

I'm wondering if I might get more nibbles if I post Pampered Chef stuff for her in my LJ. I'm not remembering a lot of cooking threads here.

There haven't been, but if you post it to the comm and promote in your own journal that should work. And I know Sam will be promoting the auction again tomorrow and his people are very into the cooking stuff.

Thank you for thinking about it!

ooh, I've been thinking about locating a pampered chef person for a new suds pump...:)

Alas, I don't have one of those left from my days shilling stoneware.

Totally fine with me, and I have lots of friends who are thrifters.

Thank you!
