Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2008 Shenandoah District Disaster Response Auction!  We are pleased to announce that proceeds from the weekend are estimated at $185,000.   Proceeds from Friday’s livestock auction are estimated at $22,083.  The Quilt/Craft auction proceeds are estimated at $89,683.

At Friday evening’s Oyster/Ham dinner, 1,304 hungry people gobbled up oysters, country ham and chicken tenders.  Special thanks to the churches and individuals who donated $5,635 to cover the cost of the oysters! Over 550 folks came for Saturday breakfast consuming  208 pancake platters and 342 omelets.

Please recognize that the totals reported above are estimates only.  All expenses have not been paid to date.  Also, we usually continue to receive donations for a few weeks after the auction.  As soon as all expenses and revenues are accounted for, we will provide you with the total net proceeds.

On behalf of the Auction Coordinating Committee, thanks again to everyone who prayed, planned, volunteered, donated items, bid, bought or otherwise supported the auction.  You are the key to the auction’s success and our Disaster Response ministry’s ability to help disaster victims!
