Silent Auction Nets Sails on Sea Note for Two Supporters of Our Youth Programs On Tuesday, June 23, Dave McEachen took John and Judy Sims for a Sail on Sea Note. The event was a gift from Bob and Virginia Hankins, who were the top bidders at a pancake breakfast with a silent auction to benefit our youth programs. The following week, on Tuesday, June 30, Lynn Handloser and some of her friends, Jo and Tom Bakker, Joy Hinn, and Dan Cross, enjoyed a sail on Sea Note after Lynn made the winning bid at another silent auction to support our youth programs. The weather was cooperative for both sails, and everyone seemed to have a good time. Look for such prizes at future youth benefits and help support our programs! See more photos of these and other events on our church photo gallery.  .   . |
