Rowan's Journal

Well here it is, folks, the last morning of the "Get AmberBob Moving" Auction! Whee....!

You know the drill...

http://rowangolightly.livejournal.com/tag/fund-raising

Only three more hours to bid on stuff, a couple things haven't been bid on at all.

Those of you kind enough to repost this other places, like the Wench Board, other Yahoo groups and such, this might be a good time to repost the link since most folk tend to forget about things like this from one day to the next.

We're at $1,176.00 right now. And if there happens to not be anything on the list you want (shock!) but you have some extra cash lying around, you can always do a straight donation to the car fund right into AmberBob's PayPay account, which is leaghasybil (at) yahoo (dot) com.

And just think, after this afternoon, you won't ever have to hear about this again. Well, except to post the total and the good news when she's able to retrieve her car, thanks to all of your wonderful generosity.

Love you all, you guys rock my stripey socks!

Ok, the auction is finally done with!

WOO HOO, it's done!

First of all, THANK YOU to all the generous donors and bidders; you are all kind and wonderful folk.

I'm utterly blown away and grateful and I know that AmberBob is too. The total amount raised by the auction is $1,253.00!

There ya go! Now as to directions to pay, ship and all that:
1. Winners email me! Will all the winners please email me immediately at: rowangolightly (at) gmail (dot) com, confirming the amount you are paying and how you want to pay it. I will be keeping close track of all this stuff. I need to know the following: Real name, address, telephone number (in order to arrange shipping of stuff.) This includes everyone who bought either an item or a service.

2. PLEASE PAY NOW! Sooner everybody pays, sooner AmberBob can go get her car.
Make payments directly to AmberBob, either to her PayPal account, at leaghasybil (at) yahoo (dot) com or by check mailed directly to her (I will give the address to those who need it). AmberBob will notify both the donor and me when she receives payment.

3. DONORS email me now! FOR THOSE ITEMS BEING SHIPPED, I need to know the following: Real name (and LJ name, please), address, the dimensions (including length, width and height) of the parcel and the weight of it.

4. GO AHEAD AND PAY for those items being hand-made to custom order. Please email both me and the donor your preferences/choices so that the item may be made.

5. AmberBob will notify donors and me when she has received payment, then...

6. Each donor will mail out the donated item.

Shipping information: April, aoifemacewen, has kindly offered to give packing/shipping advice and has even more kindly offered to mail shipping labels at a discount to the donors to help them get the donations to the winners in the least expensive manner possible, other than hand-delivering. In order to do this, we need: donor's address, the dimensions (including length, width and height) of the parcel and the weight of it. She will then generate the label and mail it to the sender/donor. (This is why I am asking all donors for this information, so I can collect it all and give to her all at one time.

The receipt/delivery/service of any non-tangible donation, such as readings or classes will be determined by mutual agreement of the donor and winner as to time and place. In other words, I'm staying the heck out of those details, other than to see to it that each item has been completed and delivered.

Ok? Ok. I think I've put everything in here that needs to be.

Questions? (But please read through the whole thing first) Comments...brickbats?
