Have you looked at all the goodies up for auction in the St. Jude Auction bid forums - now that the bids are open??? check all four forums and all 3 pages of each, PLEASE    

I was checking out the bid forums last night and was proud and pleased to see almost all the items have at least one bid on them (still a few "empties" left though). However I was a little sad (but very proud) to see that mostly it was an awful lot of bids placed by the same old stalwarts that carry this effort so well for us.

Please, if you haven't looked yet, make it a point to at least look in on it, and be aware. The kids of St. Jude Research Hospital need and deserve our support so very much. Remember: The whole of Trad Gang gets the credit (and the blessed feeling) for helping St. Jude and the children in this once a year effort. Please see if there isn't some little corner open where you can make your weight (of whatever type or size) felt also - every little bit helps. Even if it's only in encouraging (goading) the others          

 If at all possible, your help is needed so badly this year.

Year after year you impress me with your many generous donations and adamant cheerleading for this charity auction.

You are an inspiration Sir!
         

Thank you so much, Bel007. If that is so, I am just one of many but it is very thoughtful of you to say so.

I gotta second that. Last year I won one of Bernie's items and have bid on some this year. Winning one of Bernie's items will become a tradition for me.

X2 on Bernie (although he is one of a few equally devout to the cause), he's the man! Three cheers for Bernie, literally ........

                   

Bless you all, bless us all, as we try our best to help the children fight their battles at St. Jude. They all seem to be so brave - could we be that brave? We can only hope for as much courage, and do whatever we can to help encourage them..

Here is a brand new little video to add interest to the musical items up for bids on the 4 bid forums of this years St. Jude Auction:

One last sweep before tonight (Tuesday) final bid forum bidding.
