18th Annual Disaster Ministries Auction

May 14-15, 2010

Rockingham County Fairgrounds, Harrisonburg, VA

The Shenandoah District Disaster Ministries Auction is pleased to announce estimated proceeds of $190,000 from the May event at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds.  God certainly blessed us with wonderful weather, faithful & hardworking volunteers and a great crowd of folks, some of whom traveled from as far away as Pennsylvania and Ohio. Here are some numbers from the weekend:

      1299 tickets sold for the Friday evening Oyster/Ham Dinner

      78 gallons of oysters fried and eaten

      171 pancakes and 335 omelets eaten on Saturday morning

       330 lunch tickets sold for Saturday’s lunch

A more detailed accounting of the weekend’s proceeds will be provided after all expenses and revenues are processed--usually by mid-August. The Auction Coordinating Committee would like to thank everyone who helped to make the weekend a success. Your generosity ensures that the Shenandoah District and Brethren Disaster Ministries will be able to continue to respond in the name of Christ with money, supplies and volunteers when and wherever disaster strikes.
