Thanks for a GREAT Auction!

With some receipts and expenses still outstanding, estimated net proceeds from our 21st annual Shenandoah District Disaster Ministries Auction total $180,000! That's a great job by so many people. Thanks!

We also have these numbers:

• For Friday's oyster ham dinner, 1,060 diners were served.
• For Saturday breakfast, 270 people enjoyed omelets and 157 opted for pancakes.
• At mid-day, 146 plate lunches were served in addition to all of the a la carte items sold.

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard and to those who ate and bought with enthusiasm.

Brethren Disaster Ministries (BDM) is central to who we are as Brethren; this weekend is a vital part of the Shenandoah District's role in BDM.

Next up to benefit Brethren Disaster Ministries:
