Seeley's Bay Pastoral Charge

Auction Fundraiser - Saturday November 16, 2024

at the Seeley's Bay United Church - 5:30pm



The 8th Annual Seeley's Bay/Olivet United Church Auction is over for another year and was a success again.  A first rough estimate is that we were able to raise in the neighbourhood of $6800. Yeah!!!

Many thanks to all those that came out to support us by making a purchase and getting a bargain or just sitting enjoying the show. I was grateful to see so many folks that have never come to the auction before but certainly contributed to the success.  Thank you to Keith Hubbard for once again being our auctioneer and also providing us with some laughs. Thank you to Jan Holland who beautifully introduced all the items and kept Keith on track. They are definitely quite a team.

Thank you to all those that supported me by helping with set up and at the auction. It takes many hands to make light work and these folks indeed made my work easier.  Mary Whitney, John Barker, Tammy Johnston, Jan Holland, Chris Munro, Cindy Tye, Rev. Don Stiles, Mary Anne Jackson, Kathi Antoine, Marsha Antoine Gutierrez, Mike Moore, Olivia Moore, Kay Webster and Blake Burns. Also a huge thanks to Dave Munro for making sure all donations were up on the website and always being available for technical support.

To these folks who without their generous donations of items and baking , there would be no auction, thank you for  thinking of us and donating to this successful event:
