YDC 80 Announcement

(Your Donation Counts)

Charity Auctions

24th – 28th August 2010

YDC charity auctions are held by the international eBid membership every month.
Our main aim is to raise as much money as we can, and have lots of fun along the way!
At the same time, we have a “friendly” competition to see which single auction raises the highest amount. The winning seller in this competition chooses which good cause to nominate for the following month’s competition.

As the winner of YDC79, Meebo1 has chosen:

as this month’s nominated charity.

Please come and join us with YDC80, everyone is welcome and -
YOUR DONATION COUNTS!
