Excitement and anticipation is on the rise as we get closer to the auction. As you probably already know from Elliot’s message, during tonight’s more auction planning and discussing took place. There is a new poster, please feel free to distribute it to friends, family and colleagues.

The auction will be a silent one, and what we are working on now is marketing, marketing and more marketing. We are reaching out to various media in addition to our personal contacts. Please feel free to forward any ideas you may have.

Looking over the news pages in the last few days I noticed that there are less and less stories about what is happening in Haiti. Is Haiti already forgotten because other things have happened that demand attention with more urgency? I think we can answer a safe no.

In fact, this may be a case of less news as good news. Haiti might be pulling itself steadily out of the headlines dealing with imminent emergencies. That is certainly a sign of moving forward, slowly but steadily. In good time, we will come across a title highlighting amazing new developments in Haiti since the earthquake. That certainly is something to look forward to. In the mean time, we are doing what we can to help bring those headlines along a little faster.
