The auction for Granite City

Sep 13, 2005

Thanks to everyone who participated in the charity auction for Granite City. We were all floored that Bev paid 7,100 dollars for the priveledge of having her name used in a future Anita book. Thank you so much for your generosity. In one fell-swoop we’ve raised enough for the animal shelter to have their sewer system fixed completely. If they had not been able to fix it the shelter would have had to close down. They are a no kill shelter, and some of their harder to adopt animals have been there for years. It would have been a tragedy for the animals.
We put up the auction before Katrina hit, so now there are even more homeless animals, not to mention loads of people who have lost everything. We’ve donated items, and some money, but we’re actually looking at maybe an auction of some kind for the hurricane relief effort. The auction for Granite City brought in more money than we’d dreampt, so cool. Thanks again to everyone who participated, and thanks to Bev for her generosity. I think your name will get to be a corpse in book 14. Strangely, book 13, DANSE MACABRE, doesn’t have any dead bodies yet. Unheard of for an Anita book. Of course with a few hundred pages still to go, you never know. Thanks again.
