Gabe: Just a reminder that the last day to purchase tickets for the Child"s Play charity dinner and auction is Thursday. New items for the auction are coming in every day. I wanted to let you all know that we"ll have items in all different price ranges. I know last year we talked about items going for ten and twenty thousand dollars. Trust me when I tell you that you can come with significantly less than that and walk out with something cool. Even if you don"t want to bid on anything it"s a really fun event to watch. Either way, Thursday is the last day to get your tickets.
