Nice! I am glad to have done my small part. I am looking forward to being of more help next year.

"One day you're going to figure out that everything they taught you was a lie."
In that vein, we will be looking for a new "Haven Fund Whore" next year. You know the face of the fund raiser, the guy who bangs the drum and coordinates the festivities online. As I have said before, I am going to lower my profile next year, but not my commitment or duties. Just from "behind the scenes" from now on. Look for a much more "Kinder, gentler, Merlin1958 next year. Think of me now as Grima Wormtongue!! LOL
That means that anyone willing to take the mantle may apply or inquire through PM to me and Jerome. All applications will be considered. The position requires dedication, enthusiasm and a willingness to take one for the team!! LOl No monetary or "work" element required, but (maybe a bonus) you will be "In the HF loop. Please, only serious inquiries.
Thanks from me to everyone who helped out, donated or contributed from the smallest to the biggest!! This is a truly remarkable community!!!

This topic sort of came up in another thread, but to clarify, and correct me if I am wrong, RF, the annual proceeds from the "Haven Fund" madness each year are sent to them from "TDT.Org". That means that EVERYONE here is included, whether they donated or not. In addition, who is to say what you contributed? It's like the "Butterfly Effect", maybe you donated a book, clicked the "widget", helped promote a HF theme, said something nice to an eventual contributor, or just posted a word of support. Regardless, this ENTIRE community makes the contribution each and every year and I find that to be both an inspiration and a sense of pride!!!
Everyone here deserves a round of applause!!!!

An amazing donation was raised by this little community...well done, everyone!
The thread was closed and the entries dispersed for all, but without revealing the "Actual Total", Dnemec would have won the contest. Regardless, everyone who entered got an entry.
Many thanks to all who participated in every small, medium or large way!!! It takes a village!!!

I am really proud of our members and their generosity. In seven years we have raised over $59,000!
We are looking forward to the 2015 event.
It would be greatly appreciated if you provided an acknowledgement letter for our receipts.
Sincerely,
Jerome Smith
Owner TheDarkTower.org
I don't like that signature.... Wouldn't want it in my collection.
Congratulations everyone!!!
"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
Congratulations, everyone, especially Jerome, Simon and Bill. A truly worthy achievement.
John
Awesome, just plain awesome!!! I am just so proud to be a part of this amazing community!!!

Well, we had a rather successful year raising funds for the HF, but now it's time to start cranking up for next year. I've got some very interesting new twists in the works, but I always need book donations for the artists. I promise to keep better track this year. LOL Last year somehow I let myself get caught by surprise. That will not happen again. So some suggested books (All 1/1 thank you)...
The Green Mile
Duma Key
Desperation (GE preferred)
IT
Everythings Eventual
Dr. Sleep
FD/NS
The Talisman
The Wastelands
The Dead Zone
The Stand (Uncut)
The Dark Tower (TDT VII)
Are just a few that come to mind. I am sure more will be added, but the present stable of artists include, Mark Geyer, Jill Bauman, Glen Chadbourne, Alex McVey, Don Maitz, Ned Dameron, Vincent Chong, Rachel Readman, Erin Wells and perhaps Mike Whelan. Ideas and suggestions are always welcome!! Plus, we need a new "Haven Fund Whore" as I am retiring as the "Face of the Fundraiser". Of course you never know just what Mr. King may sign!!!
Thanks to all of you for your charity and contributions over the past years and those still coming!!!!!

Well, it's kind of a fine line. I just do not wish to be the "Face" of the fundraiser any longer. Got a lotta flack over all the posts so I think it is time for someone else to pick up the mantle, but I will still do my normal contribution behind the scene's. Interested in becoming the "Face of the Fundraiser"?
