Successful charity auction

Our first charity auction fundraiser was a great success on Saturday. It was a hot day, and the Love In Action Ministry Center does not have air conditioning, but everyone still had a great time. And, we raised $2,464. Praise God!

Auctioneer Jerry Eddings did a terrific job. He is an awesome auctioneer. Jerry and LIA co-founder Mike Shroades worked hard to put this auction together, and Martha and I thank them for everything.

A small crowd turned out, but Jerry really knows how to work the crowd, and the people were more than willing to help out for a good cause.

A number of volunteers came out to help, and everyone did a great job. We thank everyone who came out to help us have a very successful auction.

People donated some very nice items. We had beautiful china and glassware, jewelry, art, appliances, collectibles, gift certificates and more. Thanks to everyone who donated. We couldn't have raised the money without your donations.

The money raised will go to our building fund to expand the LIA Ministry Center.

Thank you again to everyone who had a part in the auction, and again, a special thank you to Jerry. "Chief," you are the man!
