We finally got the weather to cooperate, after two reschedulings for this event. We had a turnout of about 50 people. Again this event was held at the All Saints Lutheran Church in Blairsville, GA. A delicious meal was had by all. A thank you to all who contributed to the buffet. A special thanks to George and Nancy Donegan and Jim and Billie Bell for the procurement and preparation of the turkey and ham.

After the dinner, the auction began. All of the items were donated and ALL of the money raised went to charities within the area.
