Thanks to all of the members who joined us and gave from the heart.  It was a fantastic evening, and came off almost flawlessly... (perfection is our goal, but sometimes stuff happens!) KUDOS and never ending thanks to the auction team under the leadership of Carol Duris, with outstanding support from Cindy Grady, who was in the office over 50 hours last week and almost that many hours most other weeks this month, Kirsten Willis, who logged in almost a full week of work on many tasks including development of the live slide show and table signs for the evening  and also managing the volunteers with Rusty Hersey. To Chris Serface, who with Jeff Rounce fine tuned the slides to assure that we had music and video. Jeff  managed the slides during the auction and Chris  served as our MC and was joined by Christina Turner on the stage to lend their talents announcing our items and managing the program with our auctioneers. To the rest of the Auction Leadership Team of Monique Nadeau, Jackie Lindstrom, Robin Echtle and Carolyn Weyrick we are so grateful for your dedication, support and wonderful ideas. Much appreciation is extended to Elliott Stockstad,  who has been a wonderful partner in helping us find way to make our service above self  come to life with the Rotary Habitat House. We cannot forget Stacey Ogle and her team for the wonderful signage and creativity.  Many other club members also devoted time at auction planning meetings,  in the office and helping with set up and take down. Those wonderful volunteers include; Mark Anderson, Linda Kaye Briggs, Kim Bedier, Stephen Deal, Don Doman, Mike Dunbar, Stephanie Farrar, Heather Faverman, Bryan Flint, Whitney Grisaffi, Maria Harlow, Chris Hays, Jim Henderson, Sharon Jaffe, Diane Kelleher, Kelly Lane, Roger Lilley, Jeff Lovely, Melissa Malott, John McMasters, Geoff Oakley, Cap Pearson, John Pfaff, Gil Quante, Debbie Regala,  Amanda Savage, Ray Schuler, Pat Steele, and Jim Whitacre. Please remember that our financial success would not be possible without the sponsors and all of our wonderful members and their friends who procured some great items. It takes each one of us to pull this off and we will change lives in the upcoming year because of your generosity. What an amazing group of Rotarians!!  For those of you unable to join us at the auction we would welcome your financial support for the Habitat House just contact the office if you would like to make a gift.
