So— too many names to spell out, but we want to give a huge round of applause to the 5 groups and 6 individuals who donated big things to the Live Auction, the 12 people and 1 group who donated Food things to the 100’s, the 11 people who gave Things to the 200’s (plus good old Anonymous), the 6 people who made things and gave jewelry to the 300’s. the 5 people who donated art, the 24 people who offered Places to Go and Things to Do, the 33 people who offered Parties with Food, the 12 people who offered Services and Lessons, the 30 people who helped BEFORE the auction by cooking, decorating, setting up, and getting donations, the 31 adults and 3 youth who helped DURING the Auction with food, wine, raffle tickets, bidder numbers, bid sheets, the Kids’ Auction and movie, data entry, and money-collecting, and the 4 people (at least) who helped clean up AFTER the Auction!
And then another big heap of gratitude to the 115 people who got bidding numbers and bid on (almost) everything that was offered! Final numbers aren’t in yet, but it looks like the Auction made around $20K — a good solid amount to give to UUCPA, the church community we all care abou
