The Blue Weimaraner Club of America is having a fundraiser for rescue aide and club operating expenses. Renée Viehman, the Secretary / Treasurer of the club has done an outstanding job getting donations for a raffle and silent auction. There is even a signed print valued at $500 donated by William Wegman.
I encourage you to head over to their site and place your donation to participate.
Instructions from the club:
The BWCA Raffle and Auction is now live on the Blue Weimaraner forum in the BWCA section. It will remain open until Friday October 30th at 5:00 pm pacific standard time. If you wish to participate in this fundraiser, please take a moment to read this information carefully. You can also find this information in the “details” thread on the forum.
Participation/Forum Options – First, in order to participate you need a user id / password for the forum. This is for no other reason than to keep out spammers. You can request that your account be deleted when the fundraiser is over. When you post in a particular thread, you will automatically receive an email to let you know that someone has posted after you. You will then need to visit the thread to read and respond. If you wish to receive an email and be able to reply via email for ANY message posted in the BWCA Auction/Raffle category then click on the “forum subscriptions” link on the upper right hand corner next to your login name.
Each item is clearly marked both in the item title and in RED in the thread itself whether it is for the raffle or silent auction.
Raffle – If you bought raffle tickets, you can now post your ticket numbers in which ever raffle items you hope to win. If you have not purchased raffle tickets you still can by going here: Once the raffle/auction closes, the item threads will be locked and the real tickets (in my possession) will be placed in the corresponding item envelope and the drawing will take place. I will video the drawing and post it for all to see, hopefully on 10/31. Any ticket numbers placed after the closing time will not be counted as it will take a few minutes for me to lock each of the threads.
Silent Auction – Listed in the first posting of each item, in GREEN is the starting bid amount and the bid increments. Keep a close eye on your bids because someone might just outbid you. If that happens, you can go back and bid again. Keep bidding until the auction ends at 5:00 pm PST on 10/30. Any bid placed after that time will not be counted as it will take a few minutes for me to lock each of the threads.
Shipping of Items – Most of the items donated will be shipped directly from the donor. Be sure that your shipping details are correct on your PayPal address. If you would like your item shipped somewhere else, please let me know. The rest of the items will be coming from me and will be shipped the week of November 2nd.
Thank you all for your support.
The BWCA fundraiser was a success! Great job everyone.
