Well, well, well. WE DID IT! Early calculations indicate that we raised approximately $10,000 on at the Talent Auction on Sunday, April 18. That’s a record. And it’s a record that we can gloat about. Congratulations to all of us!

For those of you who were not able to attend the auction, or who were there but want to do some more shopping, it’s not too late. Within the next week we’ll have a list of auction items that are still available for sale. So, don’t put away you checkbook yet.

This event would not have been possible without the Herculean efforts of a lot of people. It would be impossible to list all of the people who made it happen - we would surely miss someone. But a thank-you to all of you who donated items for the silent and the live auctions. We had a wonderful collection of treasures. And a course a BIG thank-you to those of you who bid. Needless to say, we couldn’t have done it without you!
