More may be intended for this list and any donation will be added. These are very generous offerings! I know people will be impressed. One of the things that impresses me the most with this shire is the amount of talent in such a small group of people and their gernerosity in sharing their knowledge and skill and the products of their labors. Thank You!
A special thank you needs to be said to Bart Saxton for helping us produce the "money" for the auction and r&d and production of the rings. He did this at a cost to precious personal time before leaving for active duty in the Minnesota National Guard. (We were planning on being kind to him by using plastic play money but he found out and was entirely crushed. To salve this vile betrayal we allowed him to assist us in making 500+ coins and 100+ rings. He encouraged the shire kids to participate, bravely letting them use his tools.) Thank you Bart.
