ok, so i am exploiting the boards for once in my life but its for a good cause.

Just wanted to get the word out that my office is currently having an auction on EBay for a special trip for 2 over MLK weekend!

Included in the package are first-class plane tickets, luxury accommodations, and an exclusive VIP reception at the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. Civil and human rights notables, including Coretta Scott King and Martin Luther King III, Nobel Prize laureates Jose Ramos-Horta, Bobby Muller, and Rigoberta Menchu will attend. Expected celebrities include Martin Sheen, Alfre Woodard, and Peter Gallagher, who will portray the defenders in playwright Ariel Dorfman's dramatization of Kerry Kennedy's Speak Truth to Power profiles.

This is a very important weekend - with the opportunity to meet some pretty cool people - so get the word out. 100% of the proceeds go to the RFK Memorial Center for Human Rights.


Alot more is included in the package so here is the link for more details:
