A big thanks to all who made the 2016 South Church Auction a great success. To those of you who donated so many wonderful items. To all who volunteered to setup, organize and work at the auction. To the many food volunteers who made all those goodies. To Hank and Charles for their fine music. To everyone who came out to bid. It was a fun evening of fellowship and fundraising. We are pleased to announce that the church raised close to $8,600 from the auction. All of you made that possible.
