[SEL] Charity Auction proceeds.

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Arnie, Dave and others,

    Somewhere here I have the address where to send a donation to the 
SEL Charity Auction.  I had to return home on Thurs. afternoon but want 
to send a donation in.  Could you forward me the address where to send 
it?  Thanks.
