Further to my earlier post about the Tracy Walker Howell Memorial Fund benefit that was held at the Frankfurter Hof on Thursday, October 16, 2008, I'm happy to report that $12,500 was raised. 

Organizers of the raffle,v included Cecile Barendsma and Cullen Stanley, both of Janklow & Nesbit, and Hal Fessenden, v-p of subsidiary rights, Penguin USA. Nancy Wiese, v-p director of subsidiary rights at Grand Central, served as MC of the event. 

Among the winners were scout Virginia Marx, who won a week in the Liguria vacation house donated by Ullstein Heyne publisher Ulrich Genzler, and Maria B. Campbell, who took home a new Sony e-reader.
