To save time, I'm copying an email we rec'd from Pat Gold as was sent. Please read.
Dear Reps:
The following opportunity was sent to me by new NJ Rep, Jessie Hudson. She only just received it today and asked me to forward on to all reps - it is very short notice but if you announce it to all your members, there may be some who have work already made they might be willing to donate. It is certainly a good cause and easy way for you to help with the efforts to rebuild Haiti.

Fowarded from Jessie:
I apologize for the late notice, but I just found out about this opportunity today. Art quilts are eligible for this benefit auction and would be displayed and sold in a traditional art auction setting along with other works of fine art including watercolor, acrylic and oil paintings. I spoke with Heather Goldstein, Vice President of Artist Resources at Jerry's Artarama today, and she would love it if we could put together donations of art quilts for this very worthy cause.All proceeds from the auction sales will go to Habitat for Humanity International's relief efforts in Haiti. The works in the live auction will be featured in their Auction Booklet with a color photo, artist's name, title of the work, Web site, and a short statement about the artist. Silent auction donators will be credited with their name, the title of the work, and their Web site as well. The deadline for the silent auction is officially March 28, although we can stretch it by a few days to April 1.
Silent Auction Criteria:
Silent auction work is usually smaller (no larger than 20x30). Pieces must be 2D and have no moving parts. Wet paintings will not be accepted and they suggest (but do not require) that work be prewired and ready to hang. All unframed works on paper will be displayed with clips.
Call For Artists Information

To be considered for their live auction, work must be received by March 20, 2010. These are not post-mark dates. They highly recommend dropping off work at their Art-A-Thon for Haition March 20 to give all attendees a taste of what they will see at the auction.Auction donations may also be sent to:
