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
