First and foremost a huge thank you goes out to all of the fans, that donate items, and bid on these great items. We could not accomplish this without YOU. As you know the Farm Aid Auction has been a huge success over the last five years. John and the staff at Farm Aid are always amazed how the Mellencamp fans pull together to help support the family farmer!
All funds we raise including anyone that would like to donate will be credited to "The members of Mellencamp.com Community
Payment is expected within 5 days of the auction ending. Checks, money orders and paypal will be accepted. Please note that anyone that is going to pay via Paypal they will need to include the fee. We are going to present the charitable contribution at Farm Aid 2011 so it is essential that payment is received within the 5 days of the auction ending so all payments are clear and one check can be issued. The staff at Farm Aid will receive a list of all of the fan club member's names that donate and/or win an auction item and receive a thank you letter from them. Please serious bidders only. Good luck and thanks for your support!
