Another great auction item ready for bidding

[Amigos de los Animales]

Hola friends of Amigos,

This time it's a hot-air balloon ride for two, courtesy of Sam and Jean Edwards.

For the details, see the attached photo and description. For the background on this online auction, see the next two paragraphs.

Numerous attractive services and articles, including artworks, antiques, textiles, jewelry, ceramics, and housewares, will be auctioned at the party on February 15 celebrating Amigos's 13th anniversary. (See attached announcement for details about the event.) For those who cannot attend, we are starting the bidding on some of the services and articles on line now. If yours is the highest bid for an item prior to February 14 and no bids exceed it during the party, we will notify you that you have been the winner.

Prizes can be paid for in cash or by personal check from a Mexican, US, or Canadian bank. You may pay for and claim your prize at Calle Positos No. 96 (near the Alhondiga Museum) in the city of Guanajuato during the week of February 17-21 between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Please call 732-4588 or 731-1955 for an appointment. If you do not claim your prize by 1:00 p.m. on Friday, February 21, the item will go to the next highest bidder. Prizes must be claimed in person, as we cannot mail them.

If you have any questions, just let us know.

Once again, thank you for your generous support of Amigos.
