A VISION OF THE MIMI FISHMAN FOUNDATION
CHARITY AUCTION JANUARY 2001
(TO BENEFIT THE BOULDER COUNTY SAFEHOUSE)
We are very sorry and saddened to inform you that Mimi has recently passed
away. Her love for everyone will always be there. She had such a
positive
attitude towards life and believed in the expressions of free thought and
the
opportunity of helping others. Mimi touched the hearts of many and will
be
dearly missed by everyone. The "Mimi Fishman Foundation" will continue to
make contributions to causes that will directly and significantly benefit
others. Mimi's family has requested that contributions in Mimi's memory
can
be made to:
The Mimi Fishman Foundation

allowed
after the auction end. (see all auction rules and details below).
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!!!!!
