Payment Information for Winners
Thank you SO MUCH for the fantastic response. This has been absolutely WONDERFUL.
Unfortunately, our PayPal account is down. When I spoke to customer service yesterday, they apologized and assured us it would be back up within 24 hours. I faxed personal documentation and the Community Foundation faxed them information to expedite the process. PayPal emailed me this morning to say it would be 3-5 days before these things could be processed.
Obviously we want this money to be received by the Community Foundation as soon as possible, so our payments are going a little differently, meaning that the money will now go directly to the charity. We’ll be contacting our winners with further details on how to proceed with a link and information on how to pay.
Winners, if you don't receive an email from us after 24 hours regarding how to pay and claim your item, you totally have permission to bug us.
There are also some winners who have not yet emailed to claim prizes. Please do so as soon as possible.
For those who have already paid, you're fine!
Thanks for your support and patience. You are all wonderful.
Amanda, Victoria, and Myra
A Quick Note
Since there's been some confusion.
Day = Round.
We call them ROUND often because they technically last for three days. The Rounds/Days are closing in order. Last night at midnight round/day 3 closed. Tonight at midnight round/day 4 will close.
If you don't know which round/day is about to close, simply click on the posts. If they say, for instance, "Day 3, Item 1" and at the bottom of the comments there's a notice along the lines of "THE BIDDING IS CLOSED" then round/day 3 is closed.
We're sorry for any confusion. This auction has been a new experience for us, and is very much learn-as-you-go.
Thank you, as ever, for your patience.

AUCTION TWIST #3345678
REGARDING SUZIE TOWNSEND AUCTION.
The thing about having so many amazing contributors is this: they change their minds, they up their games, they make incredible displays of generosity.
Agent Suzie Townsend emailed me last night to say that she noticed the last four bids for her editorial letter on a full ms and phone call were all over $1000.
Her exact words: For that kind of donation, I'm willing to read and write an editorial letter and call all four of them (please note it will take her a few weeks, and she asks you to be patient).
So here's the thing. With $200 separating the four, we've knocked the final bid back to an even $1000. Four highest bidders: Derek Whisman, Helena Carlo, Denise Grover Swank, and willmail, if you are still willing to bid that, contact us via email ASAP.
We continue to be amazed by the generosity of our community.
