Wonderful evening! Our 2nd Annual Bachelor Auction & Wine Tasting Event was fabulous.

We had 12 great guys set, and then out of nowhere a 13th bachelor came out the crowd to offer himself up for auction! Love that!! It was a wild and crazy night.

We want to say a HUGE thank you to all our bachelors:  Diego Lopez, Jim Lucanic, Joel Minden, Ben Winter,
Luke Scherba (our biggest winner!), Gary Witteman, Robert Marshall, Steve Muser, Troy Tate, Scott Amick, Derrick Kimura, Geoff Dulebohn, and our mystery bachelor — David Weldon.

 

We are happy to report that the proceeds from this auction will allow us to build the hand -washing stations and latrines for the primary school. We will be able to provide instruction in proper hygiene as well as maintenance of the composting latrines. We will also be able to furnish new desks and chairs for the classrooms.   Amazing!

We want to thank the wonderful  team of volunteers who worked so hard for many weeks to make the auction a success: Jen Johns, Connie Shepherd, Kelly Lough, Sarah Canada, Rebecca Boston, &  Amanda Wildes.   Also a special thank you to Melayha Fluke for coming from Humboldt County to help out, Kim Logsdon and Susan Schrader for helping with the check in and out.

We are still waiting for the results of the Annie B Fund Drive.  I will report on that as soon as I have it.

Update on LeapingStone’s 1st Annual Bachelor Auction & Wine Tasting

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Well, life is starting to get back to normal. All the thank you’s are out,  there are still a couple of donations yet to come in, but our tally will be over $13,000 for our first event. I feel pretty good about this. I will try to earn more next year.

Yes, there will be a 2nd Annual Bachelor Auction & Wine Tasting! It was a lot of work, and there were times I thought I would lose my mind, but the evening was so much fun and everyone genuinely seemed to have a good time. I understand the food was delicious. I never got around to eating. Crush did the catering, so it doesn’t surprise me that it was good!
