Hello everyone !!!

Here we are !!! It's ALMOST November and we are quickly approaching the event that everyone has been waiting for... My Eighth Annual THANKSGIVING SLAVE AUCTION to collect food and blankets for the needy at Thanksgiving! !!

Each year for the past thirteen years, I have conducted a Food Drive for Thanksgiving and a Toys For Tots event for Christmas to help all of those who are not quite as fortunate as most of us here. The thought of people being hungry over Thanksgiving or children without toys on Christmas is a very disturbing thought to Me. I have been fortunate enough over the past thirteen years to be in a position to be able to do something to help. It is now that time of the year again... so please mark your calendars now !!!

So, on Saturday, November 15th, there will be a very special play party which will feature "THE SLAVE AUCTION" to raise food for the needy over the holidays. Last year, our efforts inspired a few local churches, groups and Munches to step up and donate to our cause, and the result was that more than 30,000 people were fed because of what we do. That is an INCREDIBLE accomplishment that ALL of you who participate should be proud of. Your efforts ARE making a difference in the lives of a lot of other people !!!

Due to the large turnout over the last four years, (100+ people), I have again decided to hold this year's THANKSGIVING SLAVE AUCTION at DragonsGate Studios in Orange County rather than at SANCTUARY. This is Mistress Jordan's Dungeon and is a much larger facility than SANCTUARY. Here is the info for the Play Party and RSVP's will be REQUIRED... Attendance will be limited to approximately 85 people and many have already started to RSVP. If you are planning to attend, don't wait until the last minute or it may be too late !!!

Time: 7:30 PM - 1:30 AM

Location: OC - Directions will be given upon RSVP only

Cost: $20 per person

RSVP and Door Donation of $20 per person for this event may be made via Paypal to Jeidom@aol.com, reference: "Nov 15th Auction"

This is how "THE SLAVE AUCTION" works...

Everyone is encouraged to participate, but participation IS NOT REQUIRED to attend the party. If you prefer to attend and simply play with a partner or just watch, that is okay.

"Slaves" (male,female, transgender) who are interested in being "auctioned" for the evening will fill out a brief questionaire explaining their interests and limits. The slave, and their questionaire, will be on "display" from 8:00 to 9:00 PM for their prospective "Buyers" to examine.

Those wishing to participate as a "Buyer" will receive a non- negotiable voucher for their "Auction Money" for each can of food or pkg of non-perishible food they bring. Each can of food or small pkg of non-perishible goods such as spaghetti, macaroni/cheese etc, will be worth $10 in "Auction Money". Larger pkgs of non-perishible goods such as mashed potatoes or turkey stuffing will be worth $20 in "Auction Money". Larger items, such as cereals, bottles of juices, etc will bring higher amounts, and the value will be determined by those taking in the donations. These are basic guidelines and may vary slightly as the diversity of foodstuffs are not always easily catagorized.

The doors will open at 7:30 PM to start checking in the donations, and slaves wil e on display for Buyers to inspect and interview between 8:30 and 9:00. The Auction will start at approximately 9:15 PM and slaves that are bought will belong to the "Buyer" for the duration of the party, which is until approximately 1:30 AM or a time that both parties mutually agree upon.

All slaves and Buyers will be REQUIRED to take a few minutes after the Auction to discuss limits and agree on safe words before playing. EVERYTHING IS CONSENSUAL..
. AN AGREEMENT OF SAFE WORDS IS REQUIRED AND WILL BE RESPECTED... NO EXCEPTIONS.

This is always a fun night and it's for a great cause. The Door Donation at DragonsGate has been REDUCED to $20 per person for this special event, so I hope you will all consider either attending or participating. Each year My goal is to collect more than the year before. Last year, we collected over 2000 cans of food and more than 200 pounds of dry goods, as well as cash and gift cards to distribute for Thanksgiving. Let's try and surpass that this year !!! The beneficiaries of the food and blankets are The Metropolitan Community Church in North Hollywood and The Christ Chapel, also in North Hollywood. The food and blankets are then distributed to food banks and the needy all over Southern California. To see some photos of last year's donations, please click on this link...

In the past, many have pooled their resources to buy a harem or stable for the night, or to get that "special slave" for the evening. There have even been a number of surprises that have shown up on the Auction Block as well... so make your plans to attend. You'll be glad you did !!!

For those who are interested, or would like some additional information, please email Me at "Ms_Cyan AT yahoo DOT com"

All submissives who are interested are encouraged to post their intent here in the SANCTUARY Yahoo eGroup, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/abdsmsanctuary

We can start having some fun with this now...

I appreciate all the support that I have gotten with this over the years, please continue with that support and let's make sure we help put some food on the table of those who may not get it otherwise.

Love, Mistress Cyan
