Generosity At The Auction

On Friday evening our Ward YW and YM organizations held a fundraiser to help girls earn money for girls camp and the boys earn money for their outings. They sponsored a pot luck dinner and a service auction. Besides services being auctioned off, we were able to take food items to be auctioned off as well. I decided to make some of those delicious red velvet cake balls (thanks, Heather for the recipe). Who would have thought that one dozen of those balls would go for $40, and another dozen went for $35. Our Ward members were very generous in spite of the poor economy.


I also made four loaves of whole wheat bread which each sold for around $20. If I could always get those prices for these goods, I'd go into business for myself.

Alan did his part by auctioning off a service. He offered a teeth whitening session worth about $250, which went for $75.

At final count, the amount of funds raised was around $1,700, which is amazing to me but part of the reason for that is because the Bishop (who is a dentist) found out that a member who had already maxed out on his dental insurance for this year needed a crown and offered that up for auction. It went for $500. It was a fun activity.
