Truly from my heart, I have so much fun going to this annual auction/gala at Prestonwood Country Club. The food is wonderful, the band is always top notch and it is fun to watch people spend their money on such a good cause. If you can’t make it this year, go to www.carychristianauction.org and place a bid on as many items as you like. Hope to see and meet you Friday night.
