[Peace] WOW! POSTCARDS!

[Sandra Ahten]

Who'll give me $20!? Starting at $20. I have 20, looking for 25. Who'll bid 
$25?

Bargains were had! Some one you got away with handmade works of art for $5!

Bidding was fast a fierce on others that sold for upwards of $100.

We sold more than 150 origianl works of art in just over two hours!

I went to bed last night selling postcards in my head and woke up this 
morning doing the same thing!

Then I got up and recounted the money. Yes it's true. I've paid all the 
bills. Pure profit is $3271.90.

That's not all -- we have many more printed postcards to sell over the year. 
As planned.  All of that will be profit. They'll be available at the meeting 
next week if you missed the event.

I didn't keep a written list of all the volunteers that helped. So my thank 
you list is from memory. It doesn't stop there.  The generous "parent a 
postcard" buyers as well as all those who attended, made phone calls, and 
told their friends get a hearty handshake and thank you also. Also those who 
donated frames.
