Hello, all - Esther wrote: < I would be glad to offer the singing of a song of my choice, unaccompanied, as an item for the auction.

(I know there are some other people I have known in past for whom I would pay money for them *not* to sing ...! ;o)) And it will be so delightful to hear your wonderful voice! And perhaps you'll see people dropping their hats left and right to get you to sing some more.perhaps we will even share songs during one of the evenings so that some of us can sing and some can harmonize and some can appreciate (and some may be bringing instruments with which to play music - you never know.) For any of you considering bringing something to the OSonOS (or sending something with someone) either to sell at the Global Village Marketplace tables (to raise money for yourself or your organization or for the Access Queen Fund) or for the Silent Auction (to raise money for the Access Queen Fund), you need simply to bring them in your luggage and walk in with them and we'll find a place for your items on one of those two tables. If you are selling something in the Global Village Marketplace, you will want to perhaps make a nice little sign saying what it is and how much (in Canadian dollars?) you wish folks to buy it for. And that sign perhaps can be on or with an envelope that people put their money into as they buy your item (that way you do not have to stand at the table with your item but can play and work in Open Space during our several days together). For the Silent Auction table we will have little cards where you (or the person carrying this item to the OSonOS for you) can write what the item is, who is donating it to the auction and how much you feel the starting bid should be. If it is not an item which is placed on the table (if it is a service or a concept or something not physically evident) you may wish to bring along a photo or illustration to show what it is and lay that next to the bid card. Think of whatever you think your colleagues would find delightful: a book or poem you have written, jewelry you or friends have made, home-made food or a special tea or local delicacies or a bottle of wine from your country, art such as handmade scarves or knitting or cards, or even something you have owned which you feel someone else may like to buy. Some of us have just a little money to buy things with and some have been saving money to buy things of higher prices at these tables, and everything is welcome! And thanks to all of you for supporting the Access Queen Fund and.yourselves! Cheers from Berkeley, California, Lisa ___________________________ L i s a H e f t Consultant, Facilitator, Educator O p e n i n g S p a c e 2325 Oregon Berkeley, California 94705-1106 USA +01 510 548-8449 lisah...@openingspace.net www.openingspace.net
