New Auction Item

Weekend Stay at Vermont Vacation Home
Family friends have kindly offered a weekend at their Vermont vacation home as an auction item supporting my fund raising.  This is fantastic!  Similar to the paintings for auction, please email your bid.  I will post the high bid on my blog site.  The auction will run until the end of April.  A description of the house and when it is available are below.  My dad stayed here last fall during the Vermont relay (which his team, the King Pins, set the course record for old guys).  He said it is very cool.  I will try to get pictures to post.
 
The house is located on 5 acres in Cavendish, Vermont.  Just 4 miles from Okemo, the house is close to lakes and the town of Woodstock.  Perfect location for hiking, road or mountain biking, canoeing or kayaking, and more.  The house is 2500 sqft and sleeps 8 comfortably.  Pick a weekend between April and Labor Day (including Labor Day weekend).
