[Oabs] One last note about the fundraiser

[Kaiti Shelton]

One more thing I forgot to mention in my attempt to remember everything. When taking information from buyers and is important to get their email address in their name. We don't need their address at this point, we can get that when we email them if they win. This is something we already know, but I want to be sure that it is pointed out again as we prepare to do this.
