I hope I'm not rehashing this request. I haven't seen it posted on the SGA newsletter, but I could have missed it.

Calling all Stargate Fans…
The Stargate Multiverse Track Charity Auction Team needs your help. ASAP!
We are looking for Stargate specific items that you are willing to part with.
After a very damaging flood swept through Georgia last year, we lost ALL of our auction inventory. This means we are starting from scratch and currently the cupboard is bare.
This year’s charity is The Lupus Foundation of America. Lupus is a heinous, painful disease that affects one in every 200 Americans.
As most of you know, the SGMT has made a name for itself over the last few years as the track that has raised more money for charity than any other track at Dragon*Con. The biggest part of that comes from you, the fans, by way of the Charity Auction. We want to continue our momentum into the 2010 Convention but without donated items there won’t be an auction and our fund raising record will be difficult to maintain.
If you have been to an auction before, you know what works best… Autographed scripts, props, and authentic costumes, autographed merchandise like action figures and models.
If you have home made uniform parts or whole uniforms from the movie or any of the shows that you are no longer using, those would be great too.
We will also be having a silent auction so if you have something and you’re not sure if it’ll be good for the auction, let us know. It might be PERFECT for the silent auction.
As Stargate fans at Dragon*Con we have had the privilege to represent our favorite shows in the most positive light possible… charitable giving. It’s time to step up again and get it done!
Thank you in advance for taking the time to look through your Stargate memorabilia and thank you for enthusiastically parting with it for this very worthy cause.

For those of you that don't know, the SGMT, raised over 16K last year for charity and has raised over 30K in just 2 years. They have been able to do that through the generosity of donors willing to part with items. They have the ability to get the items signed in many cases, but it really does not matter if it is signed or not. Please if you have the ability to donate items, the SGMT would greatly appreciate it. You may also go to the
SGMT store and donate.
Thanks.
