A Fun Fundraiser

Our church hosted a fundraiser for Clearview Christian Camp tonight and it was a good time.  We did a "Loonie Auction" and thanks to a bunch of stuff donated by church people and by local businesses, as well as the generous ticket buying of those who attended, we raised over $2000.

I am always impressed with the generosity of our church.  Not just in the way they support the camp (both tonight and all year long) but in little things too.  Many of the prizes that were won ended up being carried out of the building by someone else.  A older guy would win a toy car and give it to a little kid who was really hoping to get it.... or one of the kids would win something and then realize that one of their friends really liked it, so they would give it away.... necklaces were won and then passed on.... some people kept what they won, but much of it (including a lot of the baking - cookies, pies, etc) was shared around between friends.

It was a fun and entertaining night that raised some money for a good cause, but it was also a good "family night" - a church family night.
