As all of you know, our Brilliance Benefit quickly approaches. Please mark your calendars for March 17th, my second birthday, St. Patrick’s Day; I’m inviting 400 of my “closest” friends to help me celebrate. Please watch your email for updates from Rose Kilpatrick, our volunteer procurement chair. I have tried to convince the committee to let me be the auctioneer but they are not granting me my wish. Can you imagine that? Therefore I am going to get around them by doing it on line. I am auctioning off two one-day lift tickets to Mt Bachelor. Tickets are not valid on February 18th & 19th and expire on May 27, 2012. These carry a total value of $146. If you are interested in purchasing them, please contact Kristin at auction@taemail.org. The first person who contacts her and offers face value will receive them. Proceeds benefit Thomas Edison. Many thanks and remember to wear green on March 17th or . . . !
