C'mon! Big Money! That was the goal last night for organizers of the Hosea Youth Services charity auction. This is a great program to help area kids in need, providing shelter, meals, vocational assistance, and spiritual guidance. We bid on three items and won two, one of which was a really cool fishing lamp we got for the biggest fishing fan we know. Special thanks to Bill and Gretchen for introducing us to such a neat ministry.
Side note: Renown golfer Casey Martin donated "A Round of 4 with Casey Martin", which fetched somewhere around $500-$600. Near the end of the auction, another golf package was up for bid, "a Round of 3 with A. Ruggles". Mr. Ruggles is not quite as famous as Casey but, amazingly, his package fetched more than Casey Martin's. The winner of that second package: Casey Martin! Cool, huh?
