Every year, various groups hold auctions at Worldcons for a variety of good causes. We are taking a slightly different tack this year, in hope of making attendance at the auctions easier for everyone, thus bringing in more money for all the good causes.

The auction will benefit the Transatlantic Fan Fund (TAFF), the Down Under Fan Fund (DUFF), the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America’s (SFWA) Medical Fund, the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists (AFSA), and David Gerrold’s AIDS program. Items will be displayed in the art show area with labels to identify each charity. We are still deciding how to handle silent bids, but most of the items should go to voice auction.
