Well folks we’re more than a week into the auction ... more that 70%+ of over 240 items have been bid on, we’ve had more than 700 individual bids and we’ve raised more than $11,000.
Let’s give ourselves a big round of applause ... and get back to bidding!
Couple of new items I wanted to highlight,
New York Times bestselling writer Jennifer Weiner has donated a set of six novels. To add that special touch, she will personalize and autograph the set for you. Interesting side bar, Jennifer is married to Netroots Nation Chair AdamB. Quite the power-couple!
Bid on either (or both) the JFK for President bumper sticker or Kennedy/Johnson official matchbook from the 1961 inauguration ... and remember to "close cover before striking".
Alisa Roost has donated two 1 hour SAT/ACT consultations. She will meet with parents (either in person in Manhattan or by phone if you’re in parts unknown) to discuss the best ways to approach standardized tests. Heck bid on both and double your score ... results may vary!
I’d be remiss if I didn’t thank our generous auction sponsors particularly SEIU United Healthcare Workers West who also co-hosted the Bloggers Lounge in Austin and Democratic GAIN who helped us produce the job expo.
And I want to give a shout to our good friends at Bullitics.com, Change to Win, GoLeft TV, Clothing the American Mind, LEAP, the Sunlight Foundation and New Leaders Council.
So if you’re not headed out to the movies tonight to catch W., hunker down with a bowl of popcorn, log-on the auction site and bid to your heart’s content ... see you there!
