Dear auction participants, donors and volunteers,

Each year I work closely with GA.ws administrators, with Neurofibromatosis, Inc. and with Gillian to help ensure that the annual online auction to benefit NF, Inc. runs smoothly and fairly. Each year I am dazzled by the generosity, loyalty and good will generated by the auction participants. This seventh and final NF auction, although smaller than previous years, was a most happy and successful event. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did. I can't thank you enough for all you've done over the years.

NF, Inc. has worked tirelessly to reach out to NF-affected individuals and families, to educate countless thousands about neurofibromatosis, to point the way to the best medical care, to encourage research among scholars, and to offer hope to those discouraged by the burden of an NF diagnosis. These many accomplishments would not have been possible without your support. You have provided our life-blood.

Some followers have submitted ideas for new fundraisers in which Gillian could participate. Those suggestions will be reviewed and evaluated over the next few months. Keep your ideas coming! They're great! And of course I invite you all to join in future projects to fight the good fight against NF. Keep your eyes on GA.ws.

Blessings on you all,

Rosemary Anderson and family
