Our Nov 15, 2008 Auction was a success. We achieved our goals and want to thank the parents, the generous auction bidders, our wonderful event sponsors, and our fantastic basket donors and item donors. Without all your help, we could not have achieved this singular success, as well as a blueprint for future auctions.

With great appreciation,
