For the recent troop support auction, RyanCA and Conch Republican conspired to make a beautiful Haliburton case with an amazing paint job available for bidding. Myself (and others) conspired to win the item so that we could place it in the SoCal auction.

Here is the original auction thread:

Now, the SoCal auction benefits a local (Redondo Beach) charity called Cheer For Children. There are several with this name nation-wide, but they are not affiliated with them.

So the Hali will be going up for auction a second time at the SoCal herf during the Saturday auction.

How can you help? Well, we will be asking participants to add cigars to the case to help the bidding go higher. If you will be there, just put some sticks in a zip-lock and add them to the case. If you are unable to attend the herf and would like to toss in some sticks, get hold of me and I'll make arrangements.

I am under no obligation to NOT bid on this case. :-)

The beneficiaries of the auction certainly thank you for your support.

How many cigars do you think we can squeeze into that Hali Mark?

We can always include a side box (cardboard, even) for the overflow. :-)
