Tonight is the building’s 2nd Annual Autumn Fest with dinner, a silent auction, and entertainment. Tickets are $12 per person, or $20 per family. Tickets can be purchased at the door.
If you are already planning on or thinking about coming to the Autumnfest event this Saturday 5:00 – 8:30pm, this is your preview of some of the great auction items and entertainment going on all evening long.
We are an amazing community and this broad list of wonderful auction items just helps remind me of that. Thank you for your generous spirit. Last year, despite the recession that had already begun, we had a sweet evening of good food and great entertainment and raised thousands of dollars to help run and maintain this building we all enjoy as a second home.
Looking forward to doing it all again this year. Doors open at 5pm. Spaghetti Dinner (meat and vegetarian) served at 6 in the downstairs dining hall. Magic, face painting and sweet background music 5-7. Dave Hall, Dena Wilder and DoJump students on stage in the sanctuary 7-8:30. $30 for families (of all sizes) or $12 per person.
