SUMMARY:Auction Donations (3/19 - 4/6)
DESCRIPTION:Because we bought our church property piecemeal\, we have many roofs of different ages\, and almost all are leaking now\, causing damage to floors below. That’s why this year’s auction—CREATING CONNECTIONS: MANY BELIEFS\, MANY ROOFS—wants your help to raise funds for roof repair and long-term maintenance. Consult with your friends to create an event—a group hike\, a fancy dinner\, your vacation home? Donations accepted online beginning March 19. Our motto is: “Bid High\, Keep Dry!” \n Donations start March 19 and continues through April 6. The Auction’s online bidding starts April 19 and ends May 3. More news to follow in later Front Steps editions. Stay tuned.
