The Last of the Summer Benefit Auctions
All proceeds from this auction will benefit... me! In a roundabout fashion. They'll be donated to the New Richmond Fire Department, of which I have been a member since 2005.
The NRFD provides service to the communities of New Richmond, Star Prairie, Stanton, Alden, and Erin Prairie in St. Croix County, Wisconsin. We also provide support to neighboring departments and to county-wide disaster responses.
The NRFD handles structural fires, wildland fires, hazardous chemical releases, motor vehicle accidents, land and water rescue, missing persons searches, and nearly any other mess or emergency you can conceive of. In an ideal world we'd have all the money we needed to buy whatever we require, but alas, this isn't that world. We've been stepping up our fundraising efforts in the past year or two as grants and city revenues have grown a bit thinner.
Proceeds from this auction will be placed in a fund administered and controlled by the department's firefighters, so we can vote its use for things like urgent equipment replacement or training updates.
This is the very last lot of international editions from my private collection that I'll make available in 2011! You can see it here:

This time around, we've got:
The Korean edition (in two volumes) of THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA from Ithaca (softcover);
The Bulgarian edition of RED SEAS UNDER RED SKIES from Riva (softcover); and
The Serbian edition of THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA from Laguna (softcover)
As with the previous lots, I will throw in a Benjamin Carre print and commemorative bookmark, and sign everything six ways from Sunday as directed by the auction winner.
