AUCTION EXTRAORDINARE!!

SUCCESS!!! OVER THE TOP!!! AMAZING!!!

Not sure how to describe our 2nd auction. This year it was held at the Litchfield Sportsmen's Club.

The gals brought their items by the bag fulls, boxes, suitcases, carrying them and lined the outside walls with so many things we thought maybe it would take all day to sell and the plan was...'if I brought it I had to take it back home if it did not sell.'

IT ALL SOLD IN 3 HRS with a 15 min. break. Our auctioneer Barb, President, skillfully along with 5-6 runners coordinated the items and led the bidding.

We also sold chips and sweets plus 4 delicious whole pies made by members.

So let's give you a peek at our morning meeting.

Sherry, our joyous auction co-record keeper...greeting each one with a smile and giving them their paddles to bid with.

It is finished and everything is gone!! 

Can I say 'WOW' again....We were very successful in the amount we raised to help our chapter meet our expenses.

A JOB WELL DONE!! And the best part we cleaned out things we did not want anymore and then bought things we thought we needed and of course there is always a place for more when we go shopping.

Bye for now...until next time.....
