I want to thank the many hands that came together to make this year’s auction happen.The items mentioned in the Twelve Days of Auction represent only a fraction of the items offered this year. Thank you to Ana Gregory and the auction team: Jenny DelGizzi, Dee Hudson, and Kate Sweetser. Hats off to all who donated their time, talent, and wares for the auction, and of course,  to all who bid!

I also want to make sure you all know that our Craft Fair Magic Elf is Kirsty Johnson Erikson who has been working behind the scenes since last year’s craft fair securing crafters, vendors, payments and the always enjoyable and challenging mapping of table set-up.

There are many people who kindly stepped up to donate basket raffle items like the Women’s Group, the Garden-on Team, The Book Club, The Side with Love Group. Thanks to everyone who donated baskets.

Sue Neaz was a huge contributor to auction items and baskets as well as working the raffle table on the day of the craft fair!  Kim McCoy created bidding wars on his three generous offerings of yard work.

Thanks to Dianne Mann, Vickie Cox-Lanyon, Beth Posner-Waldron, Rachel Peckar, Moira Rouse and Evelyn, Jenny Delgizzi, and of course, Vernon, Ayre, Davin, Mike, Evans, Ana, for breakdown and clean-up of the church. Thanks also to Santa!!  If I have forgotten a name, I deeply apologize, and please know how grateful we are to all of you for your good cheer and good works!  All of you “true loves” gave something very special to the church and its outreach initiatives- and this has resulted in raising close to $8500.  KUDOS and  HAPPY HOLIDAYS !  

 Blessings !
