The Bettina Scattering Sale for Dr. Alice Amsden has come to an end. It was a great experience. Many lessons learned to carry forward to the next sale and many, many people to thank.
First, we want to thank all of you who came, looked, bought and those who clicked into the ‘on-line’ part of the sale and put in bids.
As you know, everytime you put in a bid your name was put into the computer box which keeps such and today we had the computer tell us who it picked to win the night at a bed & breakfast in a Bettina Network home in Concord, Massachusetts.
That person was Christine Gilbert. Congratulations! We will be in touch with you to tell you how to collect your prize. The family of Dr. Alice Amsden and the Bettina Network, inc. thank you for bidding. We appreciate your participation and we appreciate everyone who helped to make this a success.
We look for you at the next sale. Make sure you are registered on the Bettina Network’s web site so you can be the first to be notified when the next sale takes place. Lots of changes coming with the next sale. This was our first sale using the new software and it worked beautifully. We had a couple glitches in the beginning, but it took only a few minutes to get it fixed. Susan Buck and Nicole Noll of Web Start Women did an outstanding job with the software. They are off putting their heads together to make the program we use that they wrote – better, easier, and of course, elegant. You must come to the next sale to see their changes.
We also want to thank Louise Botero and Alexandre Hawley for playing wonderful duets on the viola da gamba on Sunday afternoon at the Amsden house. We have security cameras that we set up all over the house during our sales. Maybe we will try to figure out how to use one to make a video that we can post to the blog to share with all of you. A small buffet followed the recital and in the process we learned how to make the next event, at the end of a Bettina Sale, a really special time.
Thanks also to all of you who inundated us with suggestions for the next sale. I had no idea we had so many friends who want us to succeed and who have taken a special interest in what we are doing and how we are doing it. It will take time to sort through all of the suggestions, but I know you will see some of them implemented soon.
