If you participated in the "Worthy Cause" auctions or raffle, please read this.

A lot of money was raised for me and my family and it will make getting by for a while a lot easier. The outcome of this has greatly surpassed any possible expectations anyone could have predicted. I am humbled that so many did so much. It is greatly appreciated and will be used wisely.

Now I have a request (I know it sounds greedy to ask you to do something else) but I would like everyone to do one more thing for me. I want an e-mail from everyone that participated. If you donated an item, purchased an item, donated to the raffle or helped set this whole system up I want you to e-mail me.

I have the e-mails of some of the participants but not all and I have a small gift for each of you that I hope you can use. I can't send it if I don't have your e-mail address. Just send an e-mail to bob@warnerknives.com and just say "I bought something" "I donated to the raffle (this is an item to be raffled or cash for a ticket)" or "I worked on the new forum."

I will compile a list and send it to the moderators of the worthy cause auctions and ask them to add anyone that did not want to be identified (I know there were a few) and forward my message to everyone. You will be given a link to a web page that has the gift for you.

You are great people and I am honored to be part of such a group.

Thanks to all.

Bob and family

There were a lot of people who helped out with this. Bob, I think a nice generic "Thanks everybody" would be just fine. Our reward is that it did do some good and hopefully will be the start of many good things yet to come.
