It was another balmy Sunday; the rains held off and the St. Mary’s Church annual social, held Sunday, June 22 was another successful event. Many businesses and people donated items and that support is greatly appreciated. The total net proceeds was $28,210. The auction reached an all-time high at $10,644.

Here's another look at the quilts. The cost of material in quilts, much less the time required to make them, is significant. Thanks to the bidders and purchasers.
