Going Once! Going Twice! Sold!!!

These were the sounds which echoed throughout the CLC on Sunday night, April 23, for the 2006 Endowment Fund Auction. There were opportunities to bid on great vacation packages, trips, jewelry, art, sporting event packages and much, much more!

There was a sit-down dinner, fully cooked and catered by The Birmingham Community House, live music, child care, a live auctioneer and hundreds of silent auction items. Silent Auction bidding began on Sunday morning and reopened at 5:00 p.m. before dinner began. Dinner started at 6:30 and was followed by the Live Auction.

Tickets were $25 each, or a whole table for $200!

The 2006 Endowment Fund Auction was chaired by Mindy Richards Dunbar and Paul Dunbar.  The Endowment Fund Auction Committee included Harold and Betty Melin, Barbara and Charlie Shallberg, Jerry and Donna Haymond, Sylvia Hagenlocker, John and Wendy Kreitz, Lin Schoelch, Blake Green and Ann Littleton. A special thanks to all the support we received from the church administrative staff, especially Tina Grubb and Janet Smylie. The Master of Ceremonies was Neil Ferguson and the Auctioneer was Marty Wegner. A great job was done by all.

Our theme, a tree, symbolized the growth of the Endowment Fund. With more than $40,000 collected from this event, the Endowment Fund is just under the two million dollar mark.
