And so the 16th AUSXIP Charity Auction ends for another year! Firstly, I want to acknowledge my partner-in-crime “Roger” – I couldn’t do it without you! It takes a village. To Xenites who come back year after year, to those who donated their goodies, who bid, donated and/or won. You are LEGENDS! I’m truly gobsmacked by your generosity and support.

I have the tentative total from yesterday’s charity auction!
The Starship Foundation: $5463
The House of Bards: $3580
Total: $9043
That takes our cumulative total to $270,212.91 since 2006!

Starship asked me to pass along this message of thanks!

“Huge thanks on to the AUSXIP community. Children in New Zealand are better off thanks to you!”
Battle on!
