Our 8th Annual Charity Fundraiser and Antique Vehicle Show is now history; and history it made, indeed. With about 600 guests, it was a huge success and the biggest event we ever staged. Of course, the sunny weather helped a great deal, too.
In spite of harder economic times, we were able to offer about 120 fantastic donated items for our auction and raffle, and thanks to the generosity of our many friends, who bought tickets for the raffle and enthusiastically bid at the silent and live auctions, we raised almost $11,000 in cash for Share Our Selves, and about 400 toys and over $2,600 in cash for Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. Thank you!
We served about 500 Bratwurst, 500 rolls, 360 bowls of each Gulasch and Sauerkraut and 500 chocolate chip cookies.
