-PATION!
. . .Participation, that is.
How's that for a segue? Keep up I don't want to
lose you now. We haven't even begun the auctions yet!
Speaking of losing: Defeat may be on the horizon, for some of you. Whether you're rich or poor, final bidder or first to bow out we are all Menewshans first and foremost. When an auction becomes to rich for your blood I encourage you to keep up conversations. Be a good neighbor and friend. Send wishes of congratulations or good luck to your fellow Menewshan still in the race.
Remember, even if you aren't the Final High Bidder there will always be next time. :)
