Successful 2005 Silent Auction
Thank you to everyone who worked to make the 2005 Silent Auction such a fun and exciting night, and a special thanks to those who braved the cold and to those who chose to miss the assorted sports opportunities and joining us for the evening. The weather outside might have been cold, but inside there was great warmth and holiday cheer. Delicious food and drink warmed our stomachs and the fellowship and music warmed our hearts. There was plenty to keep everyone moving as well, with our sixty packages and items to bid on. In the end, many people went home with wonderful gifts and over $5,800 was raised for the House of Hope. Mark your calendars next year’s auction looks to be better than ever! ~ Erin Kaye

Salad Luncheon
Our annual Salad Luncheon was held June 29, 2005 at the First Presbyterian Church in Waterloo. There were a lot of people in attendance, the food was great and the church hall looked lovely.

Our thanks to First Presbyterian fort he church hall and the assistance with setup, salads, etc. Also thanks to the Ascension Lutheran Church for sponsoring us through Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (matching funds) and for the salad donations. Thanks to HyVee for providing dinner rolls and dessert. And thanks to all the ladies form local area churches who donated their time, salads and/or desserts. Thanks to the Heartland Vineyard Church for printing flyers, tickets and signs. A big thanks to all the people who worked the day of the luncheon and to Sammy Jo Schmitt who designed and donated approximately fifty beaded bracelets that we sold with the House of Hope bracelets.

My personal thanks to Glenda Husome who chaired this event and to all the Board members (and their spouses) who worked so hard to make the luncheon a success. ~ Mary Schmitt
