Ron-a-Thon Fundraiser
Our Fundraiser was an amazing success!  Thank you to everyone who participated, from the authors and artists to those who bid anytime during the last two weeks (even those who outbid me for the artist I bid for).

With the funds raised, we've already renewed our accounts for three years, which should take us right through to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II in May 2011.

The Captains cannot express how much our readers and fans mean to us, especially when they help us with such an outpouring of support, both verbally and financially.  We're overwhelmed by your generosity.
