Shoot, it ain't nuthin' - surely it wouldn't take that much in this
particular case. Might even chalk it up as another donation to the effort
(too bad about the AGA's tax status ;-)  ). There's certainly enough time
for the turn-around.

You mentioned within the last couple of days that you were uncertain about
the amount of storage available for larger prizes. That's not a major
concern - I've freed up over 5200 cubic feet of storage between two
buildings and have access to a third if needed (now I *like* the sound of
that!).

By all means, please do have someone cover those that donate via gift
certificates and vouchers - I sincerely hope to be very busy with the more
bulky items soon.

On a slightly more serious note, I'm checking into the possibility of
obtaining temporary insurance on the storage items should the
unwanted/unforeseen arise. As soon as we get a better handle on what's
coming I can get some more definitive quotes...
