Not being familiar with L.A.Banks' works, I asked Google. Not only is she a neighbor, (I'm not all that far from Philadelphia) but she's someone whose books I shall soon find and read.
Click on the picture below and go look at all the wonderful things folks have donated to help out:
I was moved to offer a gift package to the auction, earrings, crochet washcloth, soap, fingerless mitts. Mine is tiny amongst the stellar offerings in the list, but it is what I have to offer. Let's all help as we can. Please. Spread the word. Go look. Bid on something.
