The guys decided that it would be a nice gesture to have a members-only auction to pay the postage for the Cards for Soldiers, an endeavor initiated by Bob Bannon. Any additional proceeds over $150 wouldgo to the OBC treasury account. The format would most likely be similar to the in-house auction we had for David Kolenda in October 2007, with a central bid handler and all payments being made to the Treasurer.I would like to ask if anyone is interested in hosting the auction to email me. Rememberto bring up any thoughts, concerns, etc to the Ramblings server if you think the AC should consider something. Your OBCAC is Andy Cook, Wayne Delia,Joshua Levine, Mike Rich, Mark Talbot, Geno Wagner and Mac Wubben.Happy New It=92s the same Hotmail=AE.
