MOC the Admins Winner
Bruce N. H. 14 IX 05

Nelson Yrizarry has really taken the vignette world by storm--acting as co-curator of the Lugnet.build.vignette forum, along with Lord_of_the_LEGO Nathan Wells; developing the Joe Vig subtheme, again with Nathan; and creating a whole host of memorable vignettes. So it's no surprise that he similarly took our MOC the Admins contest by storm, winning with his Holy Grail and earning an honorable mention for his Ultimate Wisdom.

Other honorable mentions go to Nathan Cunningham (eNiGMa) for Nathan Wells Locking a Post -- an Outpost and Sir Dillon for Nate's Barbarians Turn on Him. Congratulations to all of the entrants and thank you for a fun contest. Hmm, maybe next time we'll do our take on you . . .


Hurricane Relief
CC Team 13 IX 05

There are two ways that we AFOL's can help the families affected by Hurricane Katrina. Read Bruce's post about making a monetary donation to the Red Cross. The Edith and Godtfred Kirk Christiansen Foundation is matching donations made by AFOL's and LEGO employees. Thank you to Kjeld and the entire Christiansen family for their generosity.

Another way to help is by donating new LEGO sets so the children who have lost their toys can play. Over the next two weeks, Anthony Sava will accept new sets from CC members. Then he will take them to the Salvation Army to be donated to the kids. The Salvation Army was very enthusiastic about this idea. If you can not send a set, a paypal payment to Tony would allow him to buy sets in Texas and give those. Please send him a pm or email (check our contact page) if you want to give a set.

Thank you for your help!
