Auction Items for dorkbotSF Todd Blair Fund Raiser

These items will be auctioned off on Wednesday Oct 10 2007 at dorkbotSF special fundraiser for Todd Blair. There may be more items brought in to auction at the last minute so this is by no means the comprehensive list. Also, some of these items will be raffled or given as gifts at the door for those who donate more than $10 admission while supplies last. 100% of all proceeds will go toward the Todd and Alex fund!

Let's try to make a big dent in the expenses Todd and Alex face at this time! Also, if you can't attend the event or would like to give something in addition, there is a PayPal account set up. Just send donation to smaunu at yahoo dot com.
