| Signed Rangers Top Auction for Greyhound Rescue Charity
Greyhound Rescue Scotland was formed in 2001 and since that date the charity has been run by unpaid volunteers. They are therefore reliant on public donations to allow them to continue helping wonderful animals who deserve a better life.
As part of their fundraising they are auctioning a Rangers top from 2002/03 signed by the Rangers team that season. There is a link to the Ebay auction here.
Please take a look at their website where you can find all the necessary details if you would be interested in donating or helping out by adopting a dog or fostering one. .
A Vote of Confidence: Annual fundraiser gives supporters a chance ...
Fierce winds whipped through the trees above the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art and dark clouds loomed overhead as I drove into its parking lot last Sunday. The reason for my visit was to preview the works to be auctioned for SECCA's benefit at Friday's annual "Wild at Heart" auction. Also on my mind, though, was the center's impending change of status and what it might imply for its future. Early this month officials representing the state of North Carolina agreed to take over SECCA, in response to an offer made by the center's board of directors a few months ago. The offer was evidently a last resort to deal with financial problems stemming from the need for millions of dollars worth of repairs to its sprawling building. Although the state has agreed to the takeover, it won't magically solve SECCA's financial problems, aptly symbolized by those storm clouds looming overhead during my visit.

ART MARKET WATCH
The winning price set an auction record for an Indian sculpture. The work was sold by Buffalo's Albright-Knox Art Gallery, which is raising funds to expand its holding of contemporary art. The monumental Chola sculpture shows Lord Shiva seated on a double-lotus pedestal in the lalitasana posture -- one of "royal ease" -- with his four heads facing the four cardinal directions, and his hands in the blessing (abhaya) and teaching (varada) gestures. Shiva as Brahma joins the CMA's impressive collection of Indian sculpture, though it does not immediately go on view due to the institution's ongoing $258-million Rafael Violy expansion.
