A GOOD DAY'S WORK

Thanks to Kathleen and Julia for several hours of volunteering Sunday afternoon in order for us to sort all the donations we had into silent or live auction, contest prizes, door prizes and grab bags.  Grab bags will still be $5 but are worth more so come early as they usually go quickly.  Remember, cash only for all purchases and bids.  (There is an ATM in the lobby if needed.)

Here are some pictures of the shiny items we were sorting.

Here are the contest and door prize packages:

We will also have some items for sale at the event.  Numbers are limited so it's first come, first serve.

Patches are $5 each.

The 10-Year Commemorative Coin will be $10.

And we have five Serenity ship magnets, donated to us by the wonderful Albuquerque Browncoats, for a minimum donation of $5 each.

TRIVIA QUESTION #6 - ALSO WITH A BONUS POINT

This is the second last week for the trivia contest so we're giving out another bonus point!  In case you're not counting, that will add up to 10 by the end of the contest.  Remember to save all your answers for one e-mail at the end of the contest and the deadline for entering is midnight, Friday, June 19th.  If there are multiple winners, we will draw one of them at the event.  You must have a ticket and be present to win.

Question #6 from Joss's version of Much Ado About Nothing:  Who played Dogberry?

For a bonus point from The Avengers:  What were the Avengers eating at the end of the credits?

And for some pretty pictures, here are some items you might find in a grab bag at the event.

Patches:

Buttons:

10 Year Commemorative Coins.  There will be a limited number of these for sale for $10 each.

Here's a closeup of each side:

T-SHIRTS NOW ON SALE! PATCHES TOO!

Exciting news!! Since our event had to be earlier this year, we had to design our own t-shirts - and I think you're going to really like them!  Designed by Robin Harris (Paradiso), a Chicago Browncoat, the logo on the shirt - and on our posters - reflects Vancouver's unique skyline.  T-shirts are $23 cash  (you can order at our FanExpo booth #333 this weekend) or $25 via PayPal buttons on the right.  Deadline for ordering and paying is midnight, Sunday, May 5th.  The shirts are going to be royal blue and are offered in both men's and junior women's styles, as seen below.

CSTS Global patches are also available for $5.00 each and the deadline is the same.  They have this year's winning artwork and are square.

CSTS 2012 PATCHES NOW AVAILABLE!

Anyone wishing to purchase a patch with this year's logo on it can now do so, but in order for them to be made and shipped before early screenings such as ours, there is a very short window of opportunity. Deadline to order is Noon on Tuesday, May 1st.  There may be one or two available at the event, but if you want to make sure you get one, please order now.  This year the patches will be embroidered instead of woven to emphasize the details.  Patches are $4.00 each.  Just click on the button to the right.  The shape is the outlined design.
