Spirit of America — Blogathon Wrap-up

Posted By on April 30, 2004 at 11:11 am

Thanks to all of you who have donated to Spirit of America, either via my little auction or by some other method. The fundraising target of $50,000 was met and exceeded.
Wow. Just… wow.
Speaking of the Great Cluebat Auction of 2004… we have a winner!
Kudos, praise, adulation, compliments and a salute to Helen Kerr, who bid $210 — and then went and donated more than that anyway. I’m just an old soldier, but I think the Marines won’t mind if I speak for them when I say “Thank you, Helen!”
Thanks also to those others of you who bid and donated. If you haven’t already sent me a copy of your donation receipt, and if you’d like a Mini-Cluebat memento, forward me a copy by clicking the “E-MAIL ME” link over in the left column of the main page.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock

Ladies and gentleman, get your final bids in. I’ll be closing the bidding on the Imperial/Castle Argghhh! CluebatTM at 11:30pm, Eastern time — about one hour from now.
And please don’t forget to donate. Do it now, send the receipt later.
To sweeten the pot, not only will the high bidder receive a full-size CluebatTM, but all other bidders from whom I receive a donation receipt will receive a much-scaled-down version of the CluebatTM, suitable for imparting small clues to small brains.
Just send me a copy of the receipt you receive via e-mail from Spirit of America. (My e-mail link is in the left column of my main page, where it says “E-MAIL ME.”)
