QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS POST CAN BE DIRECTED TO ACFW Foundation Board Member LACY WILLIAMS AT lacyjwilliams@gmail.com.

Correction – *from Book Fun Magazine – a full page ad *and* ad creation valued at $400 for a total value of $1900.

We’re making great progress on organizing the spring online auction benefitting the ACFW Foundation – the 501(c)3 that is responsible for the scholarships that send members with financial hardship to conference.

Items recently added:

*Romance-ology Love Scene Critique from our own Julie Lessman

*Live Free Write Free 1-on-1 Mentoring session (30 minutes) with Allen Arnold

*Full page ad in Book Fun Magazine from The Book Club Network, including ad creation – a $400 value

And more.

*And* we have news! Family Fiction is allowing us a run a spot in one of their online newsletters. Because of this, we’d like to open a part of the online auction for READER PRIZES.

So we need those kind of donations from our published authors. Here’s some ideas:

*book basket (you ship it to the winner)

*name a character after the winning bidder

*multi-author book basket – why not get together with your chapter-mates or crit partners and offer a basket?

*”meet the author” online Skype chat for 30 minutes with winning bidder

Or anything you think a reader would be interested in bidding on. Remember it is for a great cause, to send more scholarship recipients to conference.

I NEED YOUR DONATION SUMMARIES BY FEBRUARY 28. Enter them here:

The auction will run approximately March 15 – 31 and you will be expected to ship your prize shortly after that.

Thanks for considering giving back to ACFW in this way!
