Twelfth Knight Auction

Greetings,

So this really really is the final update. I promise.

Many people have asked how they can help? The VERY best way the people of the Kingdom can help is to show up EARLY and to bid on items you already want anyway!

TRM's court is at 12:00. We cannot delay TRM's last court so if we are going to get through all this in time we need to start the bidding at 10:30 SHARP.

This means we need lots of people in the seats and ready to bid!

If you have your eye on something make sure you are there first thing because I don't decide what the order will be until about 2 minutes before the item goes up.

Oh and we have good news on the Auctioneer front. TWO additional Auctioneers to help out Good Sir Brand this year!

Sir Edward Ean Anderson and Sir Barak Ravensfuri will be our Guest Auctioneers this year!

While I will accept donations right up to the auction, please let me know via email if possible or ASAP Friday night (I'll be wandering the halls all evening gathering stuff up)

The Make-a-Wish Foundation should do well this year I predict!

Remember it is cash or checks ONLY! (make checks payable to NW Make-a-Wish Foundation)
