District Auctions a Major Success!
If you did not make it to this years District Conference you missed out on several things that are happening in our District. The one I want to tell you about is our Annual Silent Auction and a resurrecting of our Live Auction. I want to thank all of you out who donated items for our Silent Auction. It is you that make this a success! I also want to thank those of you who bid and who had fun doing it! Between these two groups of people we raised $1,424.00 from our Silent Auction. Congrats to you all!
At our Live Auction we had 9 quilts made by District Auctions a Major Success! different Churches in our District. We also had a hand made blanket chest that was cedar lined, made by Paul Schmidt of Polo. I tried my hand at being an auctioneer for the first. The bidding for these ten items was ferocious! Together they brought in $2,180.00 for a grand total of $3,604.00. I believe that all in attendance had a great time. I want to take a moment and thank a few people. First to “The Guys” who helped with the live auction, great job! To Program and Arrangements for the perfect site for the Silent Auction. And lastly to my wife Beckie who worked diligently to help make both Auctions a success.
As we look towards next year, I encourage you to begin thinking now about what you might bring to either the Silent Auction or live one. We would like to have another live auction, but we need once again several “Big Ticket” items. We need more Quilts or Wall Hangings and yes once again a few nice handmade furniture pieces. And for the Silent Auction food always sells. We could use a whole bunch of pies, cakes or cookies. A jar of apple butter went for $20.00 and I paid $30.00 for a fantastic peach pie, thank to Pam Boughton!
One last time thank you to you and see you next year!
