[MR] Silent Auction for American Cancer Society Relay for Life

[Elaine Koogler]

Good Gentles All,
We are opening bidding for a period dinner for 4, to be served at 
Pennsic this August in the encampment of the Barony of Dun Carraig.  The 
winning bidder can choose from one of 3 cuisines:  Renaissance English, 
Renaissance Mediterranean (Italian, Catalan, Neapolitan) or Middle 
Eastern.  The dinner will consist of multiple courses and will include a 
minimum of 3 meat/fish/chicken dishes. We will work with the winning 
bidder to make sure that the menu is agreeable and has no ingredients 
that the winner is allergic to.

The auction of this exquisite meal will benefit the Calvert County, MD 
Relay for Life, the signature event of the American Cancer Society.  
Money raised will be used by the ACS to fund research, education and 
support for cancer patients and their families.  The ACS is very proud 
to have provided research funding for 40 researchers who have gone on to 
win the Nobel prize, including two this past year.  100% of the amount 
bid will go to the Relay event.

Bidding will open immediately, and the minimum bid is $60.  The bidding 
will continue until the upcoming Dun Carraig event, A Day in the Middle 
East (February 17, 2007...event flyer at http://www.duncarraig.net/, at 
which event the bidding will stay open until one-half hour prior to 
evening Court.  The winner will be announced during Court.  Bids will be 
taken in the order received.  Please DO NOT reply to this message, but 
send your bids to ekoogler1 at comcast dot net. I will respond to bids 
received letting you know if you have the current high bid.

I hope each of you will consider bidding for this dinner.  We have done 
this in the past, and the diners walked away from the meal 
well-satisfied.  Folks from the Kingdom have been very generous in the 
past, and we hope you will continue this tradition.

Thanks!
