Sheryl Hough whetted our appetites for the annual Holiday Auction hoopla on December 18, when our meeting starts at 7:00 AM. We each should bring a wrapped gift/prize/object and attach a note that prompts desire and competitive bidding. Our fund-raising goal is to exceed last year’s mark of $4,000. Raffle tickets will also be sold to guarantee that someone will go home happy. We are encouraged to bring a guest to this happy event, so they are able to see what a great group we are!
