Although the turnout for this year’s auction was less than previous years, we did eventually reach our goal of $8,000. Post-sale purchases and contributions netted the final few hundred dollars to get us there.
Thanks to all who supported the auction effort! Kate Potter and Bill Mahler won the “Most Enthusiastic Bidders” award, though they had some strong competitors. The fun part is now enjoying all the great items you bought – dinners, vacations, recreational and educational experiences, books to read, and artwork to enjoy.
Beyond being the social event of the season, our auction will help us meet our financial goals and contribute to fulfilling our mission. If you still want to be a part of the auction, just send your contribution to our treasurer with “Auction” on the memo line.
