Just five days to go till the close of the Art Auction and Donation Campaign to Alleviate Hunger and benefit Feed the Children. We've had some new bidders pushing us a smidge closer to our $2500 goal but we could sure use your help to cross the finish line and fill a few more empty bellies.

Diane Mezzanotte joined the bidding for Waiting by Elaine Weiner Reed, but Heidi Asundi seems truly determined not to let this masterpiece escape her grasp. As soon as Diane’s bid came in, Heidi outbid her. I can understand why. Both the painting and the poem by Abha Das Sarma are gems! Waiting is now the third highest leading bid in the auction.

I am so moved by the artists and poets who have participated in this venture to bolster Feed the Children’s efforts. Randy Weber’s 
Abandoned Playground, Claunch, NM is now the item with the second highest bid of all items and the leading bidder is none other than the poet, Lisa Reynolds, whose poem I’m Hungry inspired Randy to submit his work for auction. How cool is that! Lisa’s bid outstripped Both Robert Taylor’s and Paul Kapular’s generous offers.

Doze Butler’s
  QUITCH: QUIlting To Combat Hunger still holds top honors thanks to the generous bid of André Brenardo Taylor. Dish Calling Cosmos, also by Randy Weber and inspired by Zimbabwe’s Brian Tawanda Manyati’s Imma be cool crooning alway, has moved up the bidding charts, and  is just behind Devas de los Hambrientos by JC Wayne, which holds the fourth highest leading bid- thanks to Krishna Asundi- as of this writing. 

By the time I post this, I suspect we may already have surpassed our goal, but I hope that won't stop you from shining your generosity on Feed the Children! Thanks for stopping by...T. A.
