raise awareness, funds, and volunteers for MDS. The show is interrupted
two times to auction off buckets of home-related items – homemade breads
and kitchen goods, games, or a bucket of house tools compiled by the
hosting congregation. Ted and Jeff run the auction process, with often
hilarious, but effective, results for fundraising. Details will be emerging
soon.
