That is a pretty ding-dong amazing package!* And def. a good cause. I went to one of their silent auctions a couple of years ago and thought they had some amazing stuff, but this year the items are unbelievable.
Anyway, good for you for donating your time and expertise!
*Speaking of "packages" did you notice that one can bid on a "Clone-a-Willy" kit?
How fantastic! Good on you, lelo!
Clone-a-Willy?! Do I want to go find out what that means?! Oh, heck, I do, curiosity will get the better of me.
