The auctions have been popular, and as always, the committee is working hard to come up with more unique and interesting items to be auctioned off.

We've been delighted at the outcomes of these events. We begin planning earlier and earlier each year because we're looking forward to another great night. We don't have a particular target goal yet. Over 1,500 invitations have been sent out already. To those of you who have contributed in the past, we thank you and hope you will continue by making a donation this year.

We are again pleased to have such a wonderful variety of food donations for this event. These establishments donate their food, time and effort and we couldn't do this without their fabulous support. We're hoping to add a few more surprises in the coming weeks.
