SILENT AUCTION!
The opportunity presents itself once again to help our young students with
your participation in the silent auction at our stevne. Due to time restraints,
we will have a shortened version. Bidding on items will take place starting
late Friday with the auction Friday night. Please bring a donated item to
auction off (preferably something Scandinavian related but that's not absolutely
necessary - anything you think will sell!).
On behalf of the students - THANK YOU!
