At the present moment, we have bids totaling $50,445, a milestone figure. Our original goal for this years auction was $40,000. Of the 181 items up for bid there are only a few items left that have not been bid on and those may be wisked away tomorrow. The number of ARRL staff who pitched in, despite their own very busy schedules, to provide technical assistance, editorial and photography help, donation procurement, great suggestions, fulfillment help, a million other things, as well as personal donations to the auction was amazing this year. We also received some pretty nifty donations from members of the Board of Directors and other ARRL members. Thank you very much for helping us to exceed the goal for the 2007 ARRL On-Line Auction and making the auction an enjoyable experience for everyone. 73, The Business Services Team
