Dear friends,
Thanks so much to every person in your congregations who supported the
Relief Sale by coming and helping, by contributing a few things or many
things, by supporting with your prayers. Again this year, the spirit in
which everyone worked together throughout the day was wonderful.
Based on a very preliminary count and estimate, the financial total this
year is about $31,400. In the 16 years we've been holding the sale, we have
now raised more than $500,00! In most areas of the sale, we did about the
same as last year. The auction total was down from last year, mostly
because the highest priced items this year were much less than the highest
priced items last year. Because of all the hurricanes, people have already
given a lot this year, and I'm sure that's part of the reason for the
decrease. But even though it's less than last year, $31,400 will make a
tremendous difference in the lives of many, many people through the
life-giving work of MCC.
Lunch was a major highlight this year. The amount raised was almost double
last year's amount and I heard lots and lots of people say how much they
enjoyed the food and the spirit in which it was served.
While it's fresh in our minds, please encourage everyone to pass along their
thoughts and ideas about what things went well this year and what things
need improvement.
Many hands make the work go easier, and there were truly many, many hands
involved in the work of the Relief Sale this year. Blessings to you all.
