ANNUAL AUCTION ANOTHER SUCCESS!
Thank you to everyone who attended or supported the Auction. It was an incredible success. We had about 120 people attend and some of them wearing unbelievable 50's attire. We look forward to sharing the fundraising results of evening soon!
This event would not have been successful without the help and support of everyone involved and we truly appreciate your efforts.
Raffle prizes were won by Mary Etu (Nintendo DSi), Jessica Mihaly (Disneyland tickets), Scott from the Gring (iPad). Congratulations to all, along with our top raffle ticket sellers Jack Lanham, Joe Mascher, and Russell Lamson!
