On behalf of the Tubey’s Kids Top Chef Coalition, I am happy to offer this donation of $528.29 to the Dewey Donation System.

We lost the most recent Custom Recap Auction (and I almost lost my sanity during the final minutes of bidding), but we were planning to build on these funds in hopes of winning the next aution. Tubey, of course, had different plans.

Those sneaky Size Nines stepped in and announced what we already knew: “Top Chef” is worthy of being recapped. More importantly, it is worthy of a multi-thread forum (in green!!!), for which we cannot thank you enough, and Keckler’s assignment is the cherry on top. Yay!! We’re thrilled beyond all reason. Really, it’s awesome.

Now that we don’t need to bid in the next auction, and given that those of us who pledged are in such a state of bliss that we don’t care about any other shows–and anyway, most of us are busy getting our Magical Elves fix with “Project Runway”–we agreed to donate the whole of our coffers to the Dewey Donation System.

We figured that’s where the $$ was destined to go, anyway, and can’t think of a charity that we trust more. I’m on a reading kick myself and it’s hard to imagine not being able to escape into a novel when the real world is ripped to pieces. Hope this helps.

Warm regards,
Erin
