| The Auction was a resounding success... |
|
|
Mickey the Bear resurfaces at the auction - Tom bought him back.
Auctioneer Gary donned the Santa hat last week and raked with the help of Santa helper - Bill, a whopping $1,400 for the club's Foundation treasury.
There were over forty wrapped gifts brought in by the members.
Typical for this annual club event, club members were generous and the laughter was plentiful.
Tom was the lucky buyer (or was it a ransom?) of our club's mascot Mickey the Bear which had disappeared the day our District Governor visited in August.
