Many thanks for your interest and participation in The UUCGT Online Auction Fundraiser - we all learned a lot! 


Online proceeds exceed $7,000 - cash and checks received in the office are going on $6,000! BUT WE'RE NOT DONE YET!

 

The Office remains open this week to receive your straight monetary donations to add to this FundRaiser! We want to be able to capture the matching funds from anonymous donors!

 

The Live Auction at the end of Sunday’s Service was Lots of Fun with Jim Horrocks’s outrageous stories and jokes. And then Alex served as Auctioneer with assistance from Kate Jarvi.  “Choosing a Sermon Topic for Rev. Alex” was won by Beryl Striewski! The Named Parking Spot for a year was won by Dave Newhouse!

 

Kate Jarvi’s Finnish Cardamom Holiday Bread Pulla and other goodies were delicious and enjoyed by all - truly a great time!

 

Bryan Beamer and Kate Jarvi are skillfully messaging all the winners and donors so that individual and personal contacts can be made to arrange dates, pickups and plans!

 

Thank you, Thank you all! Wishing everyone a joyous Holiday Season!

 

With gratitude, your Auction Team - 

Chris Walter, Bryan Beamer, Kate Jarvi, Jill Jennings,

Judy Barrett, Mary Van Valin
