Hello Everyone!!!

I took over the 2018 Toys for Tots auction last year and I thought it went well, we raised $2431!!! Can we beat that for the kids this year, we will see?!?!?! The first part of the equation is BOTLs and SOTLs that donate to the Toys for Tots Auction that we have each year. Sooooooo, I am needing donations for the auction. The donations can be anything from cigars, to t-shirts, lighters, cutters, ash trays, hats, cigar books, clothing, swag, etc. etc. etc.. Everyone has a box of random unused cigar smoking stuff don't they? Put it to use for the kids! It however should probably be geared towards cigar smokers, as the auction will be held for cigar smokers here on the Cigar Geeks website. Some of the new people may not have been around for the previous ones, so you can see last years auction on goings and outcome here: http://www.cigargeeks.com/index.php?topic=52031.0
The difference between some of the previous ones and this one, is that you will keep your donation, instead of mailing it to me, and then I will combine donations, and set up "kits" to be auctioned off. Once the auction has been completed, and paid for by the winner, I will let the donator know to ship out their package to the person that won the auction kit that contained their package. This is my second year running this, so I am sure that I will screw something up along the way! Please have a little patience with me, and I will try to with you as well. We will make this a great donation for Toys for Tots as we always do!!! What do you have to donate for the kids?

Please do not post your donations here. You can email me at duckslayer1021@yahoo.com with your donation or donation ideas, or PM me here. I'll get pictures from you of what you want to donate and I will combine them into kits for the auction. Hopefully we can take donations for a few weeks this year, and my plan is to get the auction started and completed so everyone can get their auction winnings by Christmas, yes, that is coming up too soon! Let's make it a great auction this year and a HUGE donation to Toys for Tots!

Also, you can make a cash donation to Toys for Tots if you would like again this year. A donation of $20 cash or more, or a kit donation for the auction for TFT, earns you a Toys for Tots badge.

Let's try to have all of the donations in to me by the 20th of this month. That gives you 2 and a half weeks to figure out what you want to donate, or to rustle something up if you want to.
