Dear Friends of Kiwanis,
Welcome to our Sixteenth Annual Charity Auction, dedicated to the memory of the auction's founder and our good friend, Pat Wilson. Pat's passing in January of 2001 was a huge loss to his family, to Kiwanis, and to the Greater Crofton area, where his many acts of charity and community service remain as examples to all of us as we strive to advance the Kiwanis mission of changing the world one child and one community at a time.
We have a large selection of items this year — over 400 — and we hope to provide you with an exciting evening of fun, refreshments, and fellowship with your friends and neighbors. We hope you will be generous in your bidding since all net proceeds of the auction will go to the many charitable and civic causes we support.
The Crofton Kiwanis has a single purpose, and that is to serve. Our focus is on children, but we are always there to lend a helping hand in our community, wherever it is needed. This past year, for example, we helped to finance a summer program for kids living at Sarah's House, a local shelter for homeless families; donated $10,000 to the Crofton Christian Caring Council; provided holiday food and gifts to local needy families with children; and provided funds and manpower for renovations to the home of a local resident in need through the Rebuilding Together program. We continued, through our Wounded Service Members Care Project, to assist military service members seriously wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan. We invite you to consider joining us in Crofton Kiwanis and take part in our mission of service to youth and our communities.
We are grateful for the participation of over 100 local merchants and businesses providing donations to help bring you the wide variety of items presented here tonight. A special thanks to our auction committee volunteers who have spent many hours to make this auction a success. Thank you for attending our auction, and we hope you will have an enjoyable evening.
Yours in Community Service,
Russ Shipley
President
