Hi all - sorry if you see this more than once…trying to hit as many
people as I can…

I’ve got an auction up on ebay to help raise money for the cyclone
victims and I’m trying to get the word out.

Right now, it involves a couple of ARCs, several books, but more have
added, and a GC to Barnes and Noble.

It’s up on ebay thru missionfish-the charity I chose was SAVE THE
CHILDREN since they already have people in the country and have had some
success getting much needed supplies. And they have an excellent rep
for putting their money where their mouth is- 90% of all monies received
go to their programs, which is beyond excellent for a charity.

I know some people feel not doing anything might be best considering the
actions of the junta and hold off waiting until that situation changes,
but I don’t think letting people suffer is a viable option either if
there are ways of getting help in.

From Save the Children’s 5/9 update-

Westport, Conn. (May 9, 2008) — The death toll in Myanmar continues
to rise as a result of Cyclone Nargis and hardships for hundreds of
thousands of survivors left in its wake are increasing. With 500 staff
on the ground, Save the Children has reached 72,000 people, 24,000 of
whom are estimated to be children, through the distribution of food,
water purification tablets, plastic sheeting for shelter and other
needed supplies

And this is part of the reason why I chose them-they already have people
inside the country and they seem to be a trusted by those within the
country, making it easier to get help in.

So far, the auction includes signed books donated by several authors, as
well as a gift card to Barnes and Noble donated by the Brown Literary
Agency-(new items haven’t been added to the auction description yet, but
I’ll have them posted soon)

The list will change from if we get new items or feel that one item should be moved to another trunk, as it is better suited for that trunk. We are still taking donations. :-)

Update

Pictures have been taken just need to upload them as they are too big to go on the site so we have to resize them. Hopefully we should have everything done by next week *fingers crossed*. Thank you so much for being patient. Hugs.

Since we want to do this type a thing maybe two to three times a year at the most, we needed a different name for what we were doing: Treasure Trove Charity. The Sweet, Sassy and Sexy Raffle is just the theme of this raffle, we plan on doing a lot of different ones. *Grin*. We, will be keeping this blog of course, the header will change with each raffle, but the blogspot addy will remain the same. Make sense? We sure hope so. lol. Oh, guess what we're over the 110 mark for items per trunk! *Big Grin*

Yup, you read right 95 items so far but that's just the items we have written down, there are still things that haven't been logged in yet. Very excited. Now we have to work on the website. More updates to come. Thanks for stopping by the blog and checking in.
