The EPN Benefit Auction is scheduled to begin on Ebay December 8th,
2008.Unfortunately the company we hired to hold the auction for us,
AuctionInn, backed out on us at the last minute.

The EPN hired AuctionInn, a company that proclaims to help non-
profits hold benefit auctions, due to the fact that I do not have the
time to run the auction and the EPN does not have a facility where
volunteers could prepare the items for Ebay. If you had asked me if a
company could walk away from their agreement with a charity during
the holiday season and nobody would care, I would not have believed
it.

Well, I believe it now. All of our pleas to media outlets to cover
this story in an attempt to locate another company that would help us
run the auction, an auction whose proceeds would help cover the cost
of feeding and caring for a former public servant went unheeded.

The EPN was counting on the money raised going to feed and care for
Randy, the former therapeutic ridiing horse in our Sanctuary Program.

Hopefully we can find a company or individual who is willing to
donate their time and resources to run the EPN Benefit Auction. The
EPN volunteers have been blessed with really wonderful items donated
by generous donors who believe in and support our efforts to Save
America's Horses through owner accountability and responsibility.
