Title: Red Flag Fund Auction
Post by: tzracer on September 20, 2009, 02:21:19 PM
Looking forward to seeing everybody at the auction.

It is not too late to donate to the auction.

If you cannot make the auction, we would gladly accept any monetary donations. Currently we can accept checks, paypal, or credit cards (call in at this time, through the web site by the end of the year).

See www.redflagfund.org for more information.

Thank you to everyone for their support.

Thanks. Fortunately we have a group of people helping us. Kathleen and I could not do it alone.

I just hope we get a good size crowd that still has some money to spend.

That and I hope the weather co-operates.

We have a lot of nice stuff that will be up for bid, and there will be food and beer, how can you go wrong?

See y'all there!

Rumor has that there would be karaoke that night, confirm or deny.

We were going to have karaoke, but there will be a band (Stone Planet) before the auction. So due to time constraints we decided to do without the karaoke rather than run the auction too late into the night.

STONE Planet will be playing some sweet live tunes. I'm going to be making an appearance with Stone Planet (Mike Stone of Queensryche's band) along... with some other guests like Erik Buell(Founder of Buell motorcycles) and Ron Hix (from hix racing).
It's gonna be game ON!
come on out folks not just for some good racing and great live music but for the RED FLAG FUND AUCTION!
Live music starts early before the Auction so we should be live by 5-5:30 or so

By the way, the riding pants fit perfectly and I hadn't realized what a deal I got until Roger pointed it out to me.  I'm thrilled!

I thought the auction was well organized and well done.  I could tell that you guys put a lot of thought and effort into making this year's event run smoothly.  I had a great time!  Keep up the good job!  For those of you who missed it, you really missed out on a very enjoyable evening!

Sorry that we missed it!  Just amazed that you guys managed one after just getting organized.  That's a TON of work and effort.  Congratulations on this and thank you for stepping up where we couldn't anymore.

We did much better than any of us had thought we could do.

I guess the key is to keep things fun and then people will spend more money :)
