Happy Holidays and next year be even better than this one!
I hope this finds you all well and happy.
It’s been a crazy awesome year and much more fruitful than expected. I was able to travel a little, mostly for exhibitions and charity events. I was fortunate enough to be able to expand and offer you top notch autographed collectibles from today’s hottest stars in Hollywood through our online auction at Autograph Store. I was also able to start and expand our Charity Fundraising division offering items to charities worldwide for their silent and live auction galas while raising money for these worthwhile causes.
I’m looking forward to next year. Last week I received a letter informing me that Autograph Store has been selected to participate in the 2009 American Heart Association Heart Ball, a grand gala raising money for the American Heart Association. This is one of our most prestigious charity auctions and events to date, so I am very excited about that! We will also be installing new auction software in the first quarter of 2009 to make our customer buying experience faster and easier than ever before.
I’m headed for the snowbound Northwest for the Christmas holidays for much needed time with family and friends and hope you all have a wonderful and prosperous New Year!
Autograph Store has attended a lot of autograph signings over the past couple months. Below is a quick recap!
Olympic gold medalist in swimming Michael Phelps signs copies of “No Limits: The Will to Succeed” at Barnes & Noble, 5th Avenue December 9, 2008 in New York City. Michael is not too nice on the street when it comes to signing autographs, but at this scheduled book signing he could not have been nicer!
Tila Tequila attends a book signing for “Hooking Up with Tila Tequila: A Guide to Love, Fame, Happiness, Success, and Being the Life of the Party” at Barnes & Noble on December 8, 2008 in New York City. Tila is always cool we followed her back to her hotel and she signed all the photos we had!
Jessica Simpson launches new fragrance “Fancy” at Macy’s on December 6, 2008 in Chicago. We also got Jessica at the airport on her way out of Chi-City where she signed 1 each!
Carol Alt signs copies of “This Year’s Model” at Neiman Marcus at the Short Hills Mall on November 29, 2008 in Short Hills, New Jersey. Always super nice and gracious even though store security would only let her sign her book when the event was over she signed several photos and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issues for us!
Denis Leary signing his new book “Why We Suck” at Bookends on November 28, 2008 in Ridgewood, New Jersey. Denis is always cool and this time was no exception as he signed his books and 1 photo for each of out collectors.
Pop musicians Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Kevin Jonas sign copies of “Burning Up: On Tour with the Jonas Brothers” at Barnes & Noble 5th Avenue on November 28, 2008 in New York City.

Singer Faith Hill signs copies of her Christmas CD “Joy to the World” at Virgin Megastore Times Square November 24, 2008 in New York City. Faith would only sign the CD at this event…NO EXCEPTIONS!

They also work to raise awareness of the water crisis through events, charity auctions, fundraising exhibitions and other public awareness campaigns.
Over 1,000 guests attended the 2007 charity: ball and $500,000 was raised in one night. The exhibition aimed to educate and engage viewers, connecting them first hand to the people and communities they are trying to help. Throughout the night, guests were given various ways to donate through the live & silent auction, merchandise sales and the waterwalk. The event was hosted by Entourage star Adrien Grenier and model Jessica Stam. Special live performances by Cat Power and Chaka Khan concluded the evening. The 2008 charity: ball is coming up on December 15.

Earthen Vessels, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Massachusetts corporation founded by Brian and Marie-Claude Thompson in 1980. The mission of Earthen Vessels is to empower at-risk inner-city children and teens from a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds in Boston to build self-esteem, self-confidence, self-respect and personal responsibility within a community that challenges traditional boundaries of sex, race, culture and class. They are encouraged to envisage their life in an open-ended and creative way and to become responsible members of their diverse communities. This mission is accomplished through two complementary programs: an intense experience of community life at the Summer Camp in Vermont, and a school-year Tutoring and Mentoring Program which matches youngsters one-on-one with Harvard students in long-term supportive relationships which are equally enriching for both sides of the equation. In recent years, 80-100% of their ‘graduates’ have gone on to college.

Hillel’s mission is to enrich the lives of Jewish undergraduate and graduate students so that they may enrich the Jewish people and the world. Hillel student leaders, professionals and lay leaders are dedicated to creating a pluralistic, welcoming and inclusive environment for Jewish college students, where they are encouraged to grow intellectually, spiritually and socially. Hillel helps students find a balance in being distinctively Jewish and universally human by encouraging them to pursue tzedek (social justice), tikkun olam (repairing the world) and Jewish learning, and to support Israel and global Jewish peoplehood. Hillel is committed to excellence, innovation, accountability and results.
