For a while, many of you have been asking for a way to participate in our charity fundraising activities, even though you may be too far away to attend one of our events. Well, that time has come!!!
The Team Wench charity eBay auctions are finally up!!! We have three items to start.
Note: According to eBay regulations, this is not a "Charity Listing" because Team Wench, Inc. does not donate a specific amount of the item being sold via eBay to charity. Team Wench, Inc subtracts out the costs and fees incurred by the Team and the balance is donated to the charities (will vary by listing), in accordance with established Team Wench policies.
Location: Sterling, VA Date: Sunday, July 12, 2009, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. Benefits: National MS Society, Maryland Chapter
Yard sale full of discounted items for your re-enactment/ garb/ costuming needs as well as regular yard sale items. Includes garb (for women, men and kids), baskets, fabric, soaps, craft supplies, buttons, beads, yarn, jewelry, knick-knacks, silk & designer scarves, regular clothing, and much more!
Note: If you would like to donate new/gently-used items or help as a volunteer during the sale, please contact Cyd Shelby. We have several drop off locations in Maryland and Virginia.
All, The ticket information has been released for Team Wench's Privateer Feast. It will once again be held in College Park, MD.

*************************************************************** Avast! All ye swarthy sailors needs ta pay close attention!
That infamous gathering of us piratical types known by them land lubbers as the "Team Wench Privateer Feast" is approachin' soon. Howe'r, if'n ya wanna be admitted to the Feast, you'll need ta brave that den of iniquity known as 'eBay' to get yer tickets. Don't you worry though... them thar tickets haven't been released for sale quite yet. But in just about a fortnight, that will change!
(The writers of this email now pause from all the pirate-speak to make certain that the message is clear.)
As previously announced on this list, the 2009 Team Wench Privateer Feast to "Save the Treasured Chest" will be held in College Park, MD on Saturday, February 28, 2009.
Tickets for the Feast will go on sale on Monday, January 12, 2009 at 4:00p.m. (EST).
I know that many of us are planning to use the internet for our holiday shopping (well, for those things we didn't grab up at the renn faire at least).
So, don't forget Goodsearch.com when doing your holiday shopping this year! Why? The site is powered by Yahoo, so you get the same results but a penny is sent to a benefitting charity of your choice for each search performed! Just choose the charity or school before you perform your search (ex: Books For Soldiers, American Heart Assoc., etc). There are 100s of registered charities and schools.
Plus!! You can also use the GoodShop feature on Goodsearch to make purchases at all your favorite online stores (Amazon, Target, Macy's, Wal-mart, Best Buy and more). GoodShop/Goodsearch will donate a % of your shopping total to your benefitting charity (at no additional cost to you).
And for those travelling, you can use GoodShop to get to Expedia, Hotels.com and such. Again, a % of your travel costs will be donated to your charity/school (at no cost to you). Imagine how quickly that could add up!
