Food for the Poor Auction fundraiser a success!

Members and families of Coucil 6099 had quite a good time for a very good cause on Friday, April 18. The council held a special spaghetti dinner and "gag auction" fundraiser for Food for the Poor, one of the council's primary charitable benefactors. More that 50 attended the event which raised $719. Ron Schleifer (pictured) acted as the auctioneer for the evening and had everyone rolling in the aisle! Click here to see pictures from the event.

One of the missions of Food for the Poor is to build houses for families in need in countries where subsistence living is, sadly, the norm. Council 6099 has raised enough funds to build three houses for families, directly changing the lives of the families we help for the better. Find out more about Food for the Poor.

Thanks to Community Director Mike Doyle for organizing a great event and to everyone who attended and purchased something, no matter what it turned out to be!
