Everybody Wins
The auction for Valour IT is over. I saw over at Milblogs that the donations deadline has been extended through today, so there is still time to donate if you haven't yet.
The teams had a nice competition and those darn Marines had one of those infamous last minute pushes and came out in front. Again. But I'm not really surprised. That is, afterall, what Marines do. Take the lead. Push to the front. It's just their nature.
Here is the tally as it stands at of 6:30 this morning.
Marines $32,754
Army $28,166
Air Force $18,385
Navy $12,626
I don't know if that includes the totals from the auction or not, but that's not bad. $91,931 raised in a week. That's a start. Now, the secret will be to continue that support throughout the year.
On a personal note, thank y'all for bidding on Mama Vi's blanket. We ended up getting $42 dollars. Much better than the $11 it hovered at for so long.
And I am like a kid in a candy store. T1G put his blog, and dignity, up for auction. Cuz, Carmen and I won that auction and are busy making plans for a very entertaining week over at the Drunken Wisdom tavern. I'll let you know when we kick that off...........*THAT* is gonna be fun........
It's like Christmas, Halloween and my birthday all rolled into one! AND we're supporting Valour IT at the same time. PERFECT!!
So this is my thank you to everyone that participated in this years fund raiser. It's a good thing. A VERY good thing......
