Hi All,
The big white tents are down, the visiting jewelry people are gone,
Hanuman and Ton are back in Bangkok, and I’ve bought the last tool
and gem stone I just had to have but did’nt need. It is now time for
me to close out the last of the 2005 Tucson Orchid Silent Auction and
to thank everyone who participated by donating, bidding, and/or
working on the event. Each year in January it feels as if it is not
going to happen, but every year the good Orchidins come through and
in February it somehow comes together. I’m happy to let you know
that this year we netted just over $5000—up from last year—but
not as good as it will be next year!!
A number of donators asked me “who won what I donated?” so I am
listing the donators and then the people who were the highest
bidders. Again, I want to remind all of you to support our donators
whenever possible. That is the best thank you we can give.
I also want to thank Dee Mano, Brooke Miner, Roseann Hanson, and
Virginia Vivier for hepling me with the Silent Auction.
I hope to see you again next year in Tucson or perhaps one of the
other regional events between now and then.
