Psiloscribe Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Again this year we will be holding several raffles and a live auction at the September conference in Chicago. As always, we truly appreciate the donation of items from individuals and business, we will ensure your generosity is noted during the conference auction and raffle. All monies raised goes directly to ClusterBuster sponsored research into the treatment of cluster headache. If you would like to help with a donation, we ask that you arrange for shipment to Chicago: ClusterBusters, Inc. P.O. Box 574 Lombard Il. 60148 Please note; If for any reason, you'd rather not use the P.O. Box, please contact us via email for a residential shipping address: busterboard[at]hotmail.com The same email can be used if you have any questions about the auction/raffle or the conference in general Thank you Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clustermom13 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Can we just bring items with us, or do you need them ahead of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunGuy Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Bringing them is fine also. Thank you. If you could, email or PM me and let me know what you might/are bringing so we can plan ahead for time allotment and such. Not a problem if you can't, it just makes life a bit easier. :-) FG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nani Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'll be sending a couple of things. Since I won't be able to be there to strong arm anyone... :'( Y'all better bid high and bid often! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Okay, don't look now, but I think this is the one my bride is fixing to donate to the auction. Not done yet, but she posts progress on some of her pieces for her artist community friends to see. This is where it's at as of this post: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunGuy Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 that is an incredible violin and an even more incredible contribution. Thank you. I'm going to let Bob deal with you directly on this one. FG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psiloscribe Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Wow, thank you very much. I would think that the auction would be the way to go. (Unless someone posts here or contacts me/you) We could then post information here and people could advertise among themselves, social media etc and get more people to visit the auction site. Let me know if there is anything we can do. Thanks again very much. It is an incredibly generous offer. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Here is a photo of my bride's contribution to the auction. It is as yet untitled, 14" x 6", mixed media, layered glass mosaic.

Professor_Tanaka Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Here is a photo of my bride's contribution to the auction. It is as yet untitled, 14" x 6", mixed media, layered glass mosaic. Not bidding on it if it is not titled Brew. Name it and it will be mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brew Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Not bidding on it if it is not titled Brew. Name it and it will be mine.  But I'm not sure it's me... Only my bride knows for sure - and she's been somewhat evasive about a name so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandi Suddaby Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 What a beautiful piece of art. There is a lot to interpret in that. I'm sure the bids will be high for this good cause. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maria9 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi, I will be bringing a couple of bottles of Merlot from the Canadian Okanagon wine country from a recent trip as well as a few wine glasses from the Burrowing Owl Winery for the raffle of a few wine baskets on Friday and Saturday night. I am hoping others can bring a few bottles of good wine to add to the wine baskets and maybe Mary (Bob W's wife) can bring two baskets for the wine. The raffle prizes and the auctions help pay for the conference as well as further research for cluster headaches. I am looking forward to seeing you all there.

kaboom Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 How much of a donation do you think you could get out of a violin handmade by myself - or should we try the auction route on www.tarisio.com (this is a copy of a guarneri del gesu from 1742 I did last year) What a generous donation - beautiful! I've been out of the loop for a while and didn't see anymore info on the auction. Did I miss it, or is it still in the works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
