“It was a dark and stormy night….” (As you all know!).
This year’s Silent Auction was, er, somewhat of a success. Due to a heavy fall of snow, the committee had to come up with a Plan B and C! The actual night of the auction, we had 24 people brave the elements to attend, including three folks from “The Terrace” (one elderly lady with a walker!). We had the Leafs on the three Big screens, everyone put in one or two bids in, and I think everyone went home with a door prize! We opened for bidding on the Sunday to allow our parishioners, and Christ Abundant people to bid, then again in the evening (we had two people come in). Then for final bids we opened up again on Monday evening, attended by a few more people. So, it was an eventful Auction to say the least. Although all the monies have not come in (we are still selling not-bid-on items), but we’ll make over $4,000.00; not bad considering the weather, poor attendance, and so on. So we’ll do it again next year (sans snow?), and hopefully we’ll make a bit more. So thanks to the committee, and those who helped out a great deal (esp. Kelly and Erin!), those who contributed items, and those who bid. See y’all next year!
