My Elephant Helps a Family
One of the clubs I belong to was looking for donations to auction for charity. This is an all ladies group and I am probably one of the only members that hunt. Everyone did look through my big photo album after I returned from Africa this year.

I decided to donate an elephant hair bracelet from my tuskless cow for the auction as a few of the women commented that they liked them. I wasn't sure how well it would go over but was I surprised. All the donated items are being done as a silent auction so you can see what people are bidding.

The top item from day one has been the bracelet! People are practicaly fighting over it. Smiler

The money raised will go to a needy family for this Christmas.

So let's do an on-line auction right here on AR. Neat idea!

And so if you meet a hunter who has been to Africa, and he tells you what he has seen and done, watch his eyes as he talks. For they will not see you. They will see sunrises and sunsets such as you cannot imagine, and a land and a way of life that is fast vanishing. And always he will will tell you how he plans to go back. (author: David Petzer)

Yes thats a great idea. the auction here for AR members would have maybe 15 - 20 items, no duplications. One of the Moderators would watch over it and the $ would go to some needy national charities cause. What about it. I'll donate some something.
