]THE FINAL TOTAL FOR THIS YEAR'S AUCTION:
$15,509
This year's auction is officially over and Sentinel Day at Moonridge zoo will soon be upon us. From all of us who work so diligently on this project, a huge thank you to every single fan who donated items, bid, claimed, adopted, won and paid! To the Moonies: Ande, Rae, Geri, and most recently added, Alayne, all of whom kept the posts flowing out to so many lists and fandoms: Another huge Thank You! And of course, to Virginia Sky, who makes this website possible, redesigns it every year, uses her imagination to keep it alive, and of course, loads it and keeps it updated: a MAJOR Thank YOU! When we opened this year's site, we believed it might actually be the final auction benefiting the old zoo, but at last check, the Forest Service has yet to grant the necessary permits following receipt of the EIS (Environmental Impact Statement). Since the building of the new zoo is estimated to take approximately 1 ½ to 2 years, it may be impractical to assume that by Summer or Fall of 2010, the new zoo will be ready for a Grand Opening. But we'll keep this site updated as news reaches us! In the meantime, there's still time to donate! Click on Biddable Items above and check out the items that are still available! If the box next to the description is empty, that means you've got yourself a chance at a bargain! But it's "First come, first serve!" - If you want the item, you need to be the first person to send me an email claiming it and of course, follow it up with a Paypal payment! You've got until Friday, the 19th to be included in the total presented this year at The Sentinel Day event! And don't forget, ALL the special items are still available - again, until Friday and, of course, you can still adopt an animal or two! In addition, once again, those attending Sentinel Day will have another chance to donate via the Chinese Auction. The majority of the items have been donated by us, the fans and count toward the Auction total! If you have an item you'd like to donate, and you're planning to go, drop a line to: alyjude@cox.net as soon as possible so all information on your item can be added to the list at Moonridge before Friday! If you'd like to check out this year's event at Big Bear, here's an interesting article from an Inland Empire newspaper! http://www.inlandempire.us/rss/article.php?client=redfusion&id=20090613131054 Again, THANK YOU ALL for another successful Moonridge Online Auction in Garett's name!
How do I bid on the unclaimed items or Special Items now that the auction is over - and can I still adopt an animal?
For any Biddable Item on the Biddable page that has NO winner next to it, or that doesn't have the word "SOLD" next to it, all you need to do is be the first person to send me an email 'claiming' that item for the starting bid of $10.00. If you're interested in any of the Special Items or adopting an animal, do the same thing - send me an email
How do I pay and how long do I have to do it?
Since the event is this Saturday, June 20th, I must receive proof of payment no later than June 19th so there's a final PAID TOTAL to present the next day at Moonridge. Since the auction is over, you have only one choice now for payment:
Paypal
With Paypal, you'll be sending the money DIRECTLY to Moonridge via this email addy: BHenke@moonridgezoo.org
At the Paypal site, do the following:
Choose either 'Gift', 'Unique' or 'Services/other'. Do NOT label the transaction as an auction as that means Moonridge will be charged a fee. In the comment section, put:
"FOR THE MOONRIDGE ONLINE CHARITY AUCTION - ITEM # (insert number and brief description) IN GARETT MAGGARTS NAME."
Once you have paid, you will receive confirmation from Paypal. You MUST send a copy to me in order to be marked as paid and receive your item/s.
Remember, this auction is FAN RUN and the burden of tracking who pays has nothing to do with Moonridge! All Moonridge wants is the Paypal, your name, address and noting that your donation is a result of the Auction, in Garett's name.
Once I have your Paypal copy, I will send an email to the individual who donated the item and yes, I'll copy you - thus connecting the two of you. At that point, the rest is up to you both!
REMEMBER, FRIDAY, JUNE 19th, IS THE DEADLINE FOR PAYMENTS OF ALL ITEMS, NO MATTER WHEN THEY WERE WON!
