Auction Success

Thanks to everyone for making our annual auction a success and a lot of fun.  We had major contributions from many non-Rotarians.  Chris Kelley and Laurie Douglass worked on decorations.  Rick Nazzaro and Ron Freni volunteered as bar keeps.  Ken Foley wrote a computer application to register guests and track and record winning bids.  Alicia Botticelli Tarasuk worked inputting registrants and bids on the computers.  Lynne Michaud's daughters, Jenny and Katie, help with serving and bussing tables.  Donna Washburn and Jan Smargon worked hard on set up and clean up.  Helen and Penne Latham knitted and crochet some beautiful items.  We should also acknowledge that Ken and Penne flew back from Florida especially for the day.  Jacquie and husband, Brian Johansen, got up at the crack of dawn transporting from Vermont the entire bar for the night.

Whew.

A theme for next year's auction has been floated by Jacquie Carson:  The Sock Hop.
