Silent Auction Fundraiser!

Nov 12

Written By Bettina

Hi Friends,

We just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who came out to support us at our Silent Auction Fundraiser. It was a lot of work, but we were thrilled with how everything turned out and so grateful for everyone's support.

In total we raised $3,500 but grossed about $3,000 after our up front expenses. With that being said we still need another $4,500 by December in order to submit our Dossier paperwork. God has continued to provide in various ways and we know He will meet this need as well.

We want to take the time to also thank the people who made this event possible.

First and foremost our vendors who donated! They included:

- Rebecca Meadows - Photography Package

We can't thank them enough for their kindness and generosity.

We also want to say a HUGE thank you to all of our friends and family who took the time to help make decorations, prep food, wash tablecloths, hang streamers and entertain all of the crazy ideas Bettina had to make this event beautiful.
Becca and Jon Meadows, Leigh McCready, Jill Jones, Josh and Cary Ellen Brown and Gary Stevens, you were invaluable in making this work and we are so thankful for the time and help you spent making this a success!
