Last night was an exciting and busy night at the Community Center as we held our annual charity auction fundraiser. The event was a huge success, with many interesting items up for bid including dinners, vacations, and experiences that were sure to please anyone who attended.

The auction started off with a silent one, where people could browse through all of the items and decide which ones they wanted to bid on. This was followed by a live auction, where the crowd was on their feet cheering for everything from fancy dinners to exotic trips. It was a lot of fun watching everyone go back and forth trying to outbid each other for the best items.
