Auction and Taste of Irmo was a Big Hit. Thanks to all members for making our Fall Charity Fund Raiser a huge success. Attendance was terrific. Comments were uniformly positive.
Special thanks to Judy Johnson for her extraordinary efforts. Judy worked tirelessly and without complaint for weeks to insure the success of this project. Once again Kelly Payne (sponsor) and the Dutch Fork Interact Club were there with their strong young backs to help with the facility set up.
Kudos to Teresa Miley for help with planning and coordination of our food vendors. Special thanks also to all of you who assisted with special jobs during the event including Patty Cavanaugh (tickets), Jeff Baldwin (refreshments), Ashley Rider and Jason Brown (auction assist). Chuch Larson and the Irmo Chamber were very generous with auction items and facility preparation. Thanks to the Babcock Center (Judy again) and DJJ (Ginny Barr).
(This from Judy J)A few further acknowledgements to Rotarians who graciously assisted behind the scenes include Jeanette Coulter for getting local merchants to donate the majority of the food at the auction, Beatle Bailey for serving as bartender along with Jeff Baldwin, Paul Lundy for assisting with the Art work, Eddie Robinson and Ashley Rider who worked SO hard tearing down the tables and chairs, Mike Seguin who also helped with clean-up and of course, thanks to all the Rotarians who helped get donations for the live and silent auctions ( Carey Hite, Joel Price, Harold Crawford, Theresa Miley, Beatle Bailey, Nathan Ballentine, Ginny Barr, George Staples, Marty Bocock, Lynn Campbell, Joel Collins, Chuck Larsen and Larry Stohs). And let me not forget Bill Danielson who, along with his wife, wrote the biggest check of the evening (Peggy also assisted at the cashier's desk). Thanks also to our food sponsors (be sure to thank them by visiting their businesses). Special thanks to Palmetto Health for allowing us to use their facility. I am told that our financial goals were greatly exceeded. These funds will assist us in maintaining our high level of support for our community projects. CH
