2010 Auction a Huge Success

The gavel has fallen and our 2010 online auction is all over. Over $7000 was raised! Thank you!

Special thanks again to our auction committee and especially to our good friend Peter Hopkins who put this auction together for us. And our heartfelt appreciation goes out to the generous friends who donated goods and services, and to everyone who took part in the spirited bidding. We know many of you bid in hopes of obtaining a particular item, and many of you bid because of your passion for Hand Papermaking, or perhaps it was a combination of both.

Either way, we're glad you took part because Hand Papermaking needs your support, especially now. Even if some other lucky bidder walked away with that particular item you were enthused about, you can still support Hand Papermaking's non-profit activities through a tax-deductible donation. If you do, your name will be listed when we publicly thank donors in our publications.

Thank you again for caring about Hand Papermaking.
