COME ON OUT!

picked up the cases of snapple today for the event bags...LOTS of snapple! thank you chaz! these event bags are going to be full of so much stuff!!! we were excited at the thought of having t-shirts, and now we have beverages, pens, pull ups, stickers, candy and more! very fun! REGISTER NOW! 909.245.9939! let's see....39 hours to go?? woohooooooooooo!

unfortunately it's unavoidable for the two of us to have seperate cars out that day, and i have things to attend to later that evening, so i can't crash out at the dz. BUT, i know i'll have tons of fun that day/night even without the tasty jell-o shots. it's going to be a great event with tons of neat peeps out to hang with. besides mark, sometimes it is way more fun to watch the aftermath of the jell-o shots than to actually be the entertainment yourself.

ahhhh depression. would love to have some of gia's famous jell-o shots, but i gotta drive home that night. *sigh* oh well...more raffle tickets! more raffle tickets!!!

not only did he give us one certificate for the auction, but there are two, yes TWO, certs in the raffle!! ROBERT ROCKS!

awesome huh!? i seriously cannot believe how well this all came together. this event is going to really rock! i know i will be totally out of control when it comes to buying raffle tickets...but i can justify it to myself because i know people who need that cash will benefit from my nuttiness.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! anniken! girlfriend, you are the best! alrighty party people, get bidding! woohooooooooooo!

the confirmed items up for bid are listed at the top of this thread. a few other items have been offered up, including things from mjosparky and michele, and have been added along the way. i'm hoping anniken can get an updated list posted or to someone to post. she has really been working hard to get this coordinated. i wish i could be a better help, but i've posted all the info i have.

michele! you are such an amazing chica! big hugs to you! just to update: michele just donated a jumpsuit and a hand-made baby blanket to the auction. thanks for being so generous with these items AND all the love you've sent our way. BIG HUGS!

"LIST THAT WE ARE COMPILING" those are the key words here. everyone is really trying hard to get a complete list together of everyone (companies, dropzones, individuals, etc) that donated. it's really tough because you never want to forget someone on a list like that. there has been soooo much generosity flowing elsinore's way. it's just been downright inspirational. it's a very special event when you have so many people to thank that it takes you pages and pages to actually compile a list. thanks to all of you out there that pitched in to help skydive elsinore and its family get back on their feet. you are all angels!!!

ed, i am not sure how anniken is running the auction. but it may be that it is not-so-silent. ha ha ha! (the only silent auction i have ever participated in was run with open lists of bids on a paper and you had to keep checking the paper to see if the bid had gone up and thus you could leave it, or write down a new higher bid. in this case, anniken is running the bids via phone calls, so it is different from what i am used to.) there was some chatter about open bidding so that there would be a battle for higher bids, thus, more money for the fund. i don't know. i just wanted to get the word out about the items... again, anniken (who is working very hard and doing a great job) is in charge of this and will hopefully be able to post a bit more about the items and minimums and *maybe* current bids. stay tuned for updates!

great idea kris! i'll see if i can get anniken to post a list of updated bid standings for each item.

well, my checks are pretty...but...no. NEW ADDITION TO THE AUCTION mjosparky has just donated an altimaster III Galaxy to the auction! lots of great stuff up for bid!!! you can call in and place a bid NOW! (**thanks so much sparky!!!**)

well it's a team thing, so either the instructor or the other team member has to be on the ground with the beer. i know borrowed gear left back in the packing area won't get in the way of you chugging. it's not jake you have to worry about...you know i can pack a punch when i need too. ANYWHO....just to keep focussed here.. saturday night at the burnout benefit: hit-n-chug...followed by free pizza....followed by big fat honkin' raffle...and auction to continue through sunday. (with a recent addition of another galaxy from sparky )
