Sara and Elizabeth attended eBay Live in Boston, our favorite city. Friends teased us, calling it the Africa Direct show....the opening night keynote address with Meg Whitman, Bill CObb, and Rajov from Paypal, included a video on eBay Giving Works, which featured two sellers, one of which was us.  A film crew had come to Denver, interviewed Elizabeth and Sara, photographed all of us at work here, and also gone to Boulder to shoot customers and friends Mark and Anna Holland, as well as interviewing the marketing manager from Heifer International in New York.  So we were up on seven movie screens for the crowd of 10,000.

Giving Works, eBay's Charity Auctions, is a cause dear to our hearts.  Elizabeth has been on their advisory council for two years, and Africa Direct has increased their number of charity auctions dramatically.  We were surprised and touched to receive an award from them, the Golden Ribbon award, for our contributions to the program.

Each year, eBay honors five of their tweve million sellers with the COmmunity Hall of Fame award.  This year, Africa Direct was one of the winners, and were presented the award at the Gala by Meg Whitman and Bill Cobb.

What a weekend!!
