Hello Everyone!!!

As some of you know today we cleared the auction group out today…Why you ask???

 

Well since our last auction brought in over 1.9 Million Lindens!!!!! We have decided to give this another shot and we hope that the community comes together and helps for a good cause. Now I will answer a few questions that some of you might have.

How can I help?

 

Well Amaretto is taking donations for this auction we do ask that any horses sent in to be higher than 8 traits or new or charmed and for the k9s we ask to be at least 3 traits on the k9s or new or enchanted and also the barnyard birds we will take any of them that you wish to donate. We do ask that you limit your items to 2 per person. Please send these donations in a folder with your full sl name and Amaretto Auction as the folder name with a detailed note card explaining why you wanted to donate to Jaymee Caproni! Donations will only be accepted until June 5th at noon.

 

How can I register to bid?

 

We realize like last time that not everyone will be able to get on the sim the auction will be done in voice over a stream and you will be assigned a proxy to place your bidding threw which will be a Amaretto Staff Member if you would like to sign up to bid please title the note card I want to bid (your name) please only send one note card to Avalon Crystal!

 

As always we hope to see you there!!!

I rarely have the time to go to the web and search for blogs about Amaretto, and today was no different! However, I was sent a link to what may just be one of the best written blogs about Amaretto that Amaretto didn’t actually write!  I guess that is fitting since the blog is on the best of SL website!! Thank you so much to Rusalka Callisto for publishing such an amazing blog about Amaretto Breedables! If anyone out there knows of other well written blogs about Amaretto that I might want to take a look at please feel free to drop me a notecard in-world with the web address.

 

Please go check out the amazing blog that inspired me to write my blog this week J

Amaretto & Charity

It is with sadness in my heart that I begin to write my Customer Connection blog. It has come to our attention that there are rumors within the community suggesting Amaretto supports charity causes within Second Life for selfish reasons. Nothing could be farther from the truth! With our last event “Auction for a Cure”, as with MOST of our fundraising endeavors all proceeds (all meaning 100%) were paid directly to the Relay for Life kiosk.  The rumors and accusations are unfounded and completely untrue and we here on the Amaretto Team hope that you in the community do not let any such rumors spoil the fact that when it comes to charitable causes the Amaretto Community is downright amazing!

Auction for a Cure !!!

 

What can I say. Thank you Amaretto Community . Todays total at the auction was 1,959,055 Lindens.

This brings us to a team total of 2,213,836.

 

Congratulations to all the bidders. This was a wonderful and exciting event and I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did. This is an awesome charity, and we thank you for being part of our team, and hope to see everyone at all our events.

 

Our auctioneer Avalon Crystal did an awesome job for 5 hours.

 

One horse went for 1 MILLION Lindens WOW .

 

Here’s a picture of the winners with the MILLION Linden Demon.

 

 

Also up on the auction block was a one of a kind k-9. The winning bid on this k-9 was 175,000 lindens!! Here is a pic below of the lucky bidder and the special k-9!

 

 

Why do you “Relay”?

TGI Friday! I wanted to make sure that I used my blog time this week to remind everyone that Amaretto is having the Auction for a Cure tomorrow, Saturday March 23 at 3pm SLT! If you weren’t able to get your notecard in to Avalon Crystal by 5pm SLT on March 22, I sure hope you will watch for future events from Amaretto during Relay for Life’s Time for a Cure.  Also be sure to pop over to the auction site, located at the Nest Egg where you can view the horses and K-9s that are up for auction. While preparing to write this blog I got to thinking about all the different reasons that people participate in Relay for Life and I thought I would share with you all why I chose to “Relay”!

I relay because I think RFL in SL is one great idea! No matter where you are, or what your situation may be in real life, via Second Life you can still feel like you make a difference.  There are many people who are not able to go and do the things they once could in the real world but Second Life gives us all the ability to be or do pretty much anything, including making a difference in the fight for a cure.  It is a sad fact that at one time or another most everyone will be touched by cancer at some point in their lives, whether by a friend or family member, acquaintance or even a celebrity you see in movies or TV.  So why do I relay in Second Life?  The question we should be asking is …why doesn’t everyone relay in Second Life?

Did you know that in 2011 Relay For Life raised over 370,000 USD in their “Seasons of Hope” campaign across the entire Second Life grid? The Amaretto Breedables Community contributed over 75,000 USD. You guys are truly amazing! I know this year we will surpass that no problem!

This years campaign theme is “Time for a Cure”. As you know Amaretto is deeply involved in doing fundraising for various charities. RFL is near and dear to Amaretto Ranch Breedables.

Amaretto has placed donation kiosks at ALL our store locations for people to donate.

You can also donate through the Amaretto Ranch Breedables Team here:

http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR/RelayForLife/RFLFY12SL?team_id=1119656&pg=team&fr_id=42558

We have created a group as well that is by invite only (IM any CSR for a group invite) ~Amaretto Relay for Life~ This group is a silent group and is ONLY for things related to RFL. So no posting of your horses/K9s, breedable questions and so on. Its only for RFL related things.

“Time for Cure” kicks off tomorrow at 10am SLT. Location to be announced and you can listen in live at www.t1radio.com – Please stay tuned for location details.

I’m sure without a doubt that once again our community will come together for such a worthy cause.

As always this connection was brought to you by the Letter Q and the Number 15

Hello breeders! Since Amaretto has opened its doors we have worked hard with the community to reach out to those in need and have been involved in many charity events. Well…. Amaretto is proud to be a part of the Extreme Collectors Auction for RFL on December 17th, 2011 at 5PM SLT! We have contributed 2 One of Kind Limited Edition Horses to the Auction line-up. This should turn out to be a wonderful auction. So please join us on Saturday the 17th at 5PM SLT and let’s support a wonderful cause!

Happy Amaretto Holidays!

Jaymee
