You Bet!
Thank You for putting it on!!
Turned out Great, didn't it T?? Knew it would, great people here!!
Terry, the :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: go to you, Doug, Walt and the rest of the mods involved with this venture. I can't begin to imagine the hours you all have invested in this. For sure more hours than I spent making arrows.
A few men making a great difference. Thanks Much!
XX2!
Thanks for all the hard work and the effort! :wavey:
This has been my first TG auction! Great fun!
Now I've got a whole lot of goodies to pack up to get ready to mail out to the lucky bidders!!
Terry, it's you and the rest of your helpers and those who contributed prizes who deserve the expression of gratitude.
We can go through life avoiding contact or we can choose to make a difference. And all of you who put this fund raiser on each year have chosen to make a difference. For that I am in your debt.

Thanks to you guys for putting this on.

This is the first year I've really been able to participate and I had a blast.
No luck on my bids but I just have to train my fingers to type a little faster for next year!

Thanks to all!
And let's not forget the CASH DONATIONS option which I think remains open. I lost track of time and lost out on some things I had my eye on.... but we all can still make a difference.
As others have stated, the essence of what you have done and accomplished with this site is evidenced not only threw the quality of membership but by the example you set called Saint Judes childrens hospital. I feel very proud to be associated with Trad Gang, not only because of the many fantastic members, but because of who and how it is administered. Thank you for such great effort Mr. Green. And obviously much gratitude go's to the moderators as well. :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
I couldnt be more Impressed with the Donations, the biders or the mods who worked so hard to make this all happen.Outstanding work all!

From Doug's post at the top of each forum:
After the Auction
OK guys and gals here's what is gonna happen. At the deadline we will lock down all the threads then we'll go thru and list the winners with totals. Please be patient.
You will need to pay via paypal, check or M/O, written to St Jude Children's Research Hospital As we receive payments we'll post on the thread, "payment received" and that it's OK to ship items. The winner and donor will need to be in contact with each other to make sure everything happens the way it's supposed to. You can click on each other's handle and either email or PM from the Profile screen.
Paying for your treasures -
Please note If payment is not received within a couple weeks, unless ya got a pretty good excuse the next highest bidder will have the option of paying for the item. I don't want to hurt the Kid's total $ but stringing the payments out over a month or two really disrupts things.
There's a couple ways to settle up after the auction and I'd really appreciate being done within a couple weeks. Please include you real name, TG handle, LINK TO THREAD(S)and all Auction info with correspondence.
You can pay with check or M/O written to St Jude Children's Research Hospital, (please do not write them to me or Trad Gang) and mailed to
Walt Francis
2917 Rose Street
Bozeman, MT 59718
Or you can pay via Paypal.com Click on the link and log in or register then click on "Send Money" enter PayPal@stjude.org in the "pay to" space, be sure to reference "Trad Gang St Jude Auction" then just follow the instructions. When making you payment you can choose goods,services under purchase and under personal if you select gift you don't have to pay the 3%.
Please give us all the info from your particular auction, reference Trad Gang ST Jude Auction, item, donor, both your name and TG handle . With a few hundred items it gets real confusing for this ol country boy.
Have fun, Bid high, Bid often!!
Thanks from the Kids!
LOL - that doesn't surprise me Terry - you always bid on so many items to help the effort along . You and a number of other Member/Bidders do that each year and I did see some new ones doing it this year as we progressed. I personally could site a number of bidders who bid on and/or won numerous items just of those i put up (can't imagine how many others they bid on and or won). Bless you all, bless us all. As others posted here in more eloquent words - we done good. It always makes me feel so good to be a member and have this chance to help our image and the best charity in this ol' world (IMO) at the same time each year. Special thanks to the owners and Mods.
Already payed my win (plus a little), via PayPal, as I see a number of others have done already - glad and proud to see that also. I must admit I was a little concerned as we first went into this year's auction but it seems (given conditions) the "GANG" came through, like the caring folks they are, once again. They also proved once again that every dollar and every effort helps.
I am such a HAPPY CAMPER this AM and it will last all through all the packing, shipping, and , good Lord willing, all the way to our next annual auction for the Kids at St. Jude.
YOU GO - TRAD GANG!

It was a great auction and all for the benefit of the kids.
I shared Asher's story with some ladies where I work and told them about our auction. They were so moved as to write me checks to St Jude. I will put them in the mail to Walt today.
When bad things happen to people whether disease or natural disasters there are good people willing to help any way they can. It reinforces my belief there is still a lot more good in the world than bad.

Wow, great idea, Marc! Thanks for yet another creative way to help St. Jude. Can it be that it's over again for another year? I love St. Jude auction time. And my thanks go out with all of the above for the opportunity to give back and for all of the hard work done by you, Terry, and your crew! :clapper:
Has anybody done any preliminary totals?
There is a thread in Pow Wow Ferret. $73K+!!
I had a ton of fun, this was the 2nd St. Judes auction that I was able to participate in, first time as a bidder, and I was able to win something. There was some really good donations, good job done by all!! :notworthy: :notworthy: :clapper: :clapper:
Thanks for putting it on Mr. Terry!
Well Done as always......
