The winetasting/auction was a success,both from a fun and a financial viewpoint.  We had some interesting area donations: autographed books by Mimi Chenfeld and .G. Fulford,a whole house gutter cleaning by Landscapes by Design,and a one hour party entertainment by Ray Pauken.  He stopped by to"see how much I go for".  The live auction items of the evening were the Archie Griffin signed OSU sweatshirt,a gas grill from Lowe's and an Aminah Robinson painting.  Happily the Aminah stayed in Eastmoor. The YMCA on Woodland again donated a gift basket and 2 passes for a two week period.See following list for a complete rundown of items and organizations who supported us.
