Success!

We'd like to send out a huge thank you to everyone that attended our auction on the 20th! Thanks, also, to all the artists who donated their work, all the local businesses who donated raffle items, and all of our friends who helped us pull everything together. The night was a fantastic success and helped us greatly to achieve our fundraising goals.

For all of you who were not able to attend but are still interested in possibly purchasing some art, good news! Because of all the donations we received, we still have art to sell! Rather than jumping through a myriad of hoops to hold a second auction, we have decided to post images of the remaining art pieces online. While not the best quality photos, you can still get an excellent idea of the photos, posters, drawings & paintings yet to be had.

To view the pieces, check out my Flickr photostream

If interested in purchasing any of the pieces, please email me at kschillr@yahoo.com and we can arrange the purchase and transfer.

Happy Hunting!
