[NJARC] Thanks For The May2nd Auction Response

[Ray Chase]

A big thanks to all you who helped make the May 2nd InfoAge auction a success, too many to mention by name.  Those who helped pick up the stuff and schlep it around at infoAge, (especially up the ramp from the hotel basement, it seemed easy taking it down, not so easy coming up, we won't make that mistake again, all storage henceforth will be ground level).  Those who set up and ran the food concession; who repaired ceiling lights at the eleventh hour; those who did an accurate and speedy job of clerking; registration and cashiering; all those who showed up bright and early Saturday to be runners and parking lot attendants; and not to forget those who brought money and hauled everything away.  We also need to especially thank Richard & John Estes who came from Ohio to Auctioneer.  Also our InfoAge friends who provided all kinds of assistance in big and small ways.  Just under 400 lots were sold in four hours and twenty minutes.  The gross sales totaled just over $10,000, WOW!  It will take a few days to crunch all the numbers to figure out the distribution of the proceeds.  Hope everybody had at least a little fun and got some goodies to take home.
