Well, today is my 1-year anniversary of PCF membership. I want to thank everybody here for your patience and kindness in teaching me, a complete noob, about the ins and outs of chipping, home poker, and online community spirit. I would like to celebrate this special day with a small series of auctions. Pardon me while I make make a brief explanation.
I have tried my best to be up-front about my fundraising efforts - I will be organizing my next casino charity event in February. I am currently gathering funds to see if I can purchase a real honest-to-goodness used 0/00 roulette wheel (got my eye on one in a private sale right now), but I'm a little bit short because of my need to turn over chip inventory. I've been looking for a reasonable deal on a wheel for some time, and I think this potential acquisition will help to enhance not only my own fundraising, but also the efforts of others around me for their fundraising endeavours as well (I'm volunteering for two more hospital-related events in the first half of next year). And it will also give @T_Chan a bit of a break because I'm always mooching off his wheel
I am also very cognizant of the heartbreaking story of @AfterTheFact 's extended family and their recent tragedy and their ongoing efforts to face a long road to recovery, not least of which are immediate medical bills. Hopefully I can contribute in my own small way to the greater spirit of this community that has rallied to fundraise for this most noble cause.
Please feel free to ask questions in the auction thread.
