CALLING AUCTION WINNERS.

I hate to do this, but we have no choice. If you've won an auction item and given us NO way to contact you, and have not come forward to collect your item, this might happen to you in the next couple days.

So.

DAY 3: Chris: Winner of NUMB by Sean Ferrell.

Day 3: MrsJock: Winner or Kate Hart quilt.

DAY 4: Alysia: Winner of Cynthia Liu package.



If you do not come forward in the next 24 hours, you will forfeit your bid.

T-SHIRTS!

T-SHIRTS!! (CLICK TO ENLARGE)

These awesome shirts designed and donated by Nashvillian graphic designer Trent Thibodeaux!!

Here's the deal. Because we've had SO much trouble getting PayPal to cooperate, we've decided to do this old school, and use checks.

If you want a t-shirt, here's the steps.

1. Send a check for $18 (you can send more if you want but $15 will cover you shirt, shipping, and a donation of $10) here:

Victoria Schwab <--make the check out to me, as I'll be opening a special account for this.
1205 Woodland St
Nashville, TN 37206

In the "to/for" part of the check at the bottom, please put "Do the Write Thing Nashville".

2. Email us at dtwtfn at gmail dot com with:

Your name
Your address
Your shirt size

As soon as we receive your check, we will email you a confirmation.

We know this is a leap of faith, but we promise that every penny (minus production and shipping) will go to directly our charity.

We will be taking checks for the next TWO WEEKS, and then will place the order with our t-shirt provider.

Thank you, as always. And if you have any questions, please email.

UPDATE - UNCLAIMED ITEMS.

Hello, all.

A couple pieces of business.

#1. Your hosts, due to "normal life", must go away for the weekend. We shall be checking email as much as possible, but if you don't hear back by Monday, DON'T PANIC.

Now, #2. #2 is VERY IMPORTANT.

Several winners have not claimed their prizes. Of those, some have left us NO WAY to contact them. If there's the slightest chance you won an item, CHECK ON IT.

ROUNDS 1-5: You have until Monday to claim your prize, or we will move on to the next highest bidder. PLEASE, PLEASE EMAIL US. If you must withdraw, EMAIL. If you have a question, EMAIL.

IF the next highest bidder doesn't claim the item, IT WILL GO BACK UP FOR BID. We will have a final round for these items.

~Your loving hosts.

Attention Winners

All winning bidders who have contacted us have been emailed with the instructions needed to make their donations to The Community Foundation. If WINNING BIDDERS haven't received these instructions from dtwtfn @ gmail . com, please email again.

If you are a winning bidder and have sent us your RECEIPT from The Community Foundation and haven't been contacted by us yet, please email and let us know.

(There are a couple of you who have sent receipts who haven't been contacted yet because I'm waiting on confirmation from donators about which email address they prefer I use. But feel free to ping me anyway!)

Thanks so much for your patience!
