Pat Smith was marvellous. With a sharp humour and professional patter he racked up sale after sale at excellent prices, and he also entertained us in great style with stories that had is in fits of laughter. We thank him most sincerely for doing this for us and the refugees. Every single item on the short list was sold. The final tally was the remarkable total of $2,235 after expenses ($30). Equally important, everybody had a good time and entered fully into the spirit, and generosity ran rife. Thanks from Hal and Tony are particularly due to Julie Wilson, Janet Larocque and Barbara Reynolds, who handled the cash, to Deborah Cross who was a creative and enthusiastic driving force starting with her front page article in the recent church newsletter, to Faye Adams who organized coffee, and to Thomas Davies who carried all the items to the room front. We want to thank every one of those who contributed items and talents. To see what was sold, who bought your item, and what remains for a future silent auction at the Cookie Walk and craft fair on December 4, 9-12, please see the list. Most of all we want to thank the people who came and bid and bought. We commiserate with those who lost out in bidding contests and congratulate those who won. And we were very pleased to see there Nancy Boughner from the Kanata Kourier-Standard and Stittsville Signal, where you should look in Friday's paper (no guarantees!).
