This thread will serve as the master listing of all the auction lots. I will add them in separate threads and link them all back to this posting for easier access.
============
The last thing we needed in California was another wildfire through residential neighborhoods but that’s exactly what we’ve gotten this week and it’s taken a direct hit on two of our own.
Mike and Dana Stoneking were victims of the Thomas Fire in Ventura and lost their home. Berserkers stepped up when the fires hit wine country. This one hits home for all of us. The Stonekings are two of the nicest, most generous people I know. I believe in Karma and they have it coming to them in spades.
While insurance and FEMA will step in and help there is so much loss that cannot be replaced. A little extra financial help can’t hurt though.
This coming weekend I am going to offer auction items to benefit the Stonekings. This is an announcement but also a solicitation for donations of any kind that you feel will be of interest to the Berserker community. Wine, beer (the Stonekings are beer lovers as well) etc… I’ll be digging into my cellar and probably will be paying a visit to Russian River Brewery as well.
Let’s join together to benefit fellow Berserkers! PM me with your offers.
Thank you.
