Did stuff go really cheap? You have 20 people that gave you items and only took in $1140. That's less tan $10.00 per donated item. But that is still a good thing to raise money for the camp.

I bid $40.00 in the Chris Econo????? book and did not get it. So everything did not go cheap.

There was some one who went through the silent auction and placed false bids on several items raising the bid some times more then twice what the prevous bid was.

This caused several problems with many items and in the end the true loser was the children at the Dare to Dream Camp as the bid money was taken from them

The auction ranged from lower priced items like 8 x 10 photos of regional drivers to books and signed prints so the final bids ranged greatly from item to item

Is there a website for the camp - or could someone provide a mailing address where donations can be sent? Thanks.

And shame on the jerks that placed false bids. Real nice...
