    Hi All,  With new people joining the list every day, we thought it
    might be a good idea to summarize where we are with the SoCal Orchid
    Dinner.  In brief, there will be a gathering of the Southern
    California jewelry & metalsmithing community on Saturday, November
    1st, at the Monsoon Cafe in Santa Monica for the purposes of getting
    to know one another, having fun, and raising funds to benefit Orchid.
     All Orchid subscribers, Metal Arts Society of Southern California
    (MASSC) members and jewelry/metalsmithing exhibitors at the
    Contemporary Crafts Market are invited. 

    The cost of the dinner is $36 per person.  Guests are welcome
    until/unless we run out of space so, if you didn't previously RSVP
    for a guest, the sooner you get your check in the better (and be sure
    to let us know your guest's name).  Make your check payable to Beth
    Rosengard and send it TODAY! We must have a final count for the
    restaurant well in advance.  Mail to ... 

    Beth Rosengard 857 S. Holt Ave. Los Angeles, CA  90035 

    Complete details (times, maps, directions, where to send checks,
    etc.) can be found at <http://www.ganoksin.com/events/SoCal-info.htm> 

    The fundraising effort for Orchid will take three forms the night of
    the event itself: 1) donations taken at the door, 2) orders for
    official Orchid jewelry memorabilia and 3) the SoCal Orchid Dinner
    Silent Auction. Donations for the Silent Auction are coming in daily
    so be sure to check the Silent Auction site frequently at
    <http://www.gembiz.com/auction/>.  New this week: 

    -- A bangle bracelet featuring the lamp-worked glass beads of
    Charlie Warner, whose work can be seen at <www.charliescreations.com> 

    -- An item (TBA) donated by jeweler, author and Ganoksin/Orchid
    co-founder Charles Lewton-Brain: Over 500 pages of Charles' writing:

    -- Jewelry by Nancy Jo Stroud (details pending). 

    Also, an image of Penny Harrell's beautiful beaded necklace has now
    been posted at the Auction site.  Many thanks to all our donors! 

    We are still accepting additional donations (of items valued at $100
    minimum) and will do so up until October 25, a week before the
    dinner.  If you have any questions, please contact either of us.
