NEWS: Evil League of Evil Authors Fundraiser for Crestline Elementary


Hail Mighty Readers,
A few days ago we hard about a school that went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that each of thier pupils were accounted for.  How do we know?  Well Lilith Saintcrow (longtime friend of the blog) told us:

"This is the school where the office staff knows every student’s name and the teachers pour their souls–and most of their paychecks–into every kid in every class, not just their own. This is the school where any adult that’s not known on sight AND carrying a red volunteer badge or sticker is clustered by very polite but inflexible staff and volunteers, to be escorted to the office to sign in. It’s the school a ten-year-old boy loves so much he’s excited on Sunday night because Monday means he can go back. The place was held together by the steady commitment of teachers and office staff, who made it work with spit and baling wire some days, and volunteers who pitched in where they could even after their kids went on to other schools. 
This is the school where nobody goes home until all the kids are accounted for at the end of the day."
Sadly the school was razed to the ground due to fire on the 3rd of Feb but Writers are banding together under the Evil League of Evil Writers to help raise funds.

So what can you do?

Firstly take a look at their online site (Here) and see if there's any items on the auction list that you fancy, then bid (in US Dollars) an amount that you can commit to.  Auctions close on Friday 15th Feb.

There's tons of stuff and this is just the first wave:
