TOPIC: Fred's TD Charity Auction Benefitting Mary's Hands! Starting April 17th!

I am organizing an auction starting in the next couple weeks that will run about 10 days. The proceeds will go to the non-profit farm Isabelle and I run. We supply fresh organic produce at no cost to Boulder/Denver individuals facing food insecurity. We partner with Boulder Food Rescue - they distribute what we grow to the communities that need it the most and UpRoot - a group that helps us pick the produce.

Proceeds from the auction will go to pay for plant starts, organic fertilizers/amendments, and seeds for 2023 (seed were already bought - the starts will be picked up mid-may.) If we were to exceed the costs, any excess monies will go to expanding our operations. We are currently growing on 1/2 acre and hope to grow it to 2+ acres of the available property in the coming years.

Last year, we grew just over 4,000 pounds of produce valued at approximately $250,000. At the end of the season, we expanded from 1/3 acre to 1/2 acre.

All winning bids will pay through Mary's hands site and will be tax deductible charitable donations.

Alan Patrick Graciously offered to auction his DMing services as well!
"It's adventure time! Alan Patrick (@warfteiner; D&D, Star Trek Adventures, Dark Souls, and more) will DM you and up to five of your friends through a four to six hour adventure using the system of your choice. This can be in-person in central Michigan or digital via Roll20 & Discord. Systems include D&D (all editions), Pathfinder (1 or 2), Shadow of the Demon Lord, Star Trek Adventures, and more!"

I will look at other similar ideas to add to the auction as well. Thank you Alan!

The official auction post will go up this weekend but bids can't start until noon MST on Monday. Ebay style auction - no early bids please.

Fred, that's awesome that you donate so much food to those that need it! I hope your auction does amazingly well!

It's very nice to see wooden tokens in it - as an FYI the Necklace of Fireballs is from 2005b.

Thank you! You are absolutely right on the fireball necklace - I misread my spreadsheet and mixed up lines.

I hope this auction raises All The Money for your cause, Fred
