Mimi's family has requested that contributions in Mimi's memory can be made to:

    The winning donation will need to be received by February 12th, as well as at least 2 days prior to the show chosen. Due to the very short amount of time between these dates and the auction end date. Pay Pal will be an option to make the winning donation.

    As a thank you to the continued support from The String Cheese Incident this auction will benefit The Boulder County Safehouse.

    Please take the time to read about this charity and I believe you will see why they were added to our list.

    During the auction, bids will be updated as much as possible at http://www.hometown.aol.com/tmmff/myhomepage/auction.html. Please check there first before placing your bid.

    The Auction Rules:

    1. Complete the form below and send to The Mimi Fishman Foundation at tmmffauction@aol.com. Before you bid please go to http://www.hometown.aol.com/tmmff/myhomepage/auction.html to obtain the minimum bid.

    2. Include with your form the amount you are comfortable bidding. All items will have a minimum bid posted, as well as the minimum amount the bids must be increased by. We will attempt to keep the minimum bids current with updates. The updates can be found at: http://www.hometown.aol.com/tmmff/myhomepage/auction.html

    3. You will receive a response to your email address within 24 hours of your bid. You will be given the detail whether your bid is the highest or not. If your bid would not be the highest you will be given the current minimum bid required in order to be the current high bidder. If for some reason you do not receive a response in 24 hours, please assume your bid has not been properly received and resubmit.

    4. If you have a leading bid and it would be surpassed you will be notified and have the opportunity to resubmit a higher bid..assuming the bid is received prior to the auction end date.

    5. We will have to be very strict with the auction end and cannot accept any additional bids after midnight on the auction end date. I know some of you might not be at your computers to receive auction updates that evening, however we haven't been able to come up with a better alternative process. Bids will only be accepted via email. I will not be able to stay in touch with bidders via phone or any other option, other than email.

    6. The winners will be notified within 24 hours of the auction end date (February 7, 2001, midnight Central time). You will be provided instructions at that time regarding where to send your donations and how your winning items (s) will be delivered. All donations will be made out directly to The Mimi Fishman Foundation. We are also set up to receive donations via Pay Pal, which will allow you to use your credit card if you wish. Due to the short time between the auction end date and the shows, a money order will be the only option other than Pay Pal of making the donation payment.

    7. Please cut and paste the bid form below while placing your bid. Please check at http://www.hometown.aol.com/tmmff/myhomepage/auction.html before placing your bid which will allow you to check the current bids on the item you are interested in.

    8. Feel free to email us at tmmffauction@aol.com if you would have any questions on the auction rules.

    9. We have had several inquiries in the past regarding how you may place a donation outside of the auction. Donations to The Mimi Fishman Foundation are appreciated and should be sent to:

    The Mimi Fishman Foundation
    12685 Dorsett Road #264
    Maryland Heights, MO 63043

    10. Disclaimer on "after show" passes...we cannot make any guarantee whatsoever that you will be able to meet any or all members of the band. Often you will, but there have been occasions when no members of the band will attend the aftershow.

    Ok..so now that the rules are out of the way, let me say you will be bidding on what I feel is truly a unique opportunity. Let's also not forget the purpose of the auction, which is to raise money for a wonderful cause. So bid often, bid high, and best of luck!!!! Once again, a huge thanks to Leftover Salmon and SCI Ticketing!!!!!
