Better Late Than Never

Almost a month has now passed and we are still tying up loose ends from the chili supper and auction.  Who would have known when Ms. Glenda proposed an auction as a major fundraiser that it would turn out the way it did?  I have to admit that in the beginning we were a little concerned and not very sure how this whole thing would come together, but with the amazing support we received from our friends and family and especially Team Taiwan we pulled it off! With all the support we raised nearly 20% of what we needed for our adoption.


Let me say again to all who helped make this night a huge success - THANK YOU!!!


The whole night was a huge success and now we are on to planning our last major fundraiser a 5K.  The 5K will be in Medina on March 24th - more on that later.


Here are some pictures of the event (can't figure out the formatting issues) and we'll be posting more regularly now that things are settling down.

Kids had a great time with food and activities

Look at all these folks with the mad food service skills!

So I Changed My Mind - One More Update

So I changed my mind because we have added a couple of pretty large items today.

First we added two Tennessee Titan tickets for November 27th at LP Field in Nashville.

Second we added two tickets to the Zac Brown Band concert at the FEDEX Forum in Memphis on Thursday night (face value of tickets are $100 each).

As for the other stuff - it seems like there's way too much to list individually, but let me assure you that there's something for everyone at the Auction tomorrow (actually it's already tomorrow).  We have item's valued from $10 - $1,000 and everything in between.

We hope you will take advantage of the hour you're going to gain on Saturday night and come and have a great time at our Chili Supper & Auction @ Medina FBC.

See you there!

The Greatest Auction Ever!!!

We are one day away from the greatest auction ever (in my humble opinion) and I am so thankful to everyone who is helping bring this event together!  Our Team Taiwan members are a huge encouragement to Gina and me and we are very thankful for their partnership!!!


So here are some last minute details you may want to know.


First, we have so many items for sale that we think you may need an extra 10 or 15 minutes just to see what's there and get your eyes set on the stuff that interests you, so doors may open a little earlier than advertised (I hear they may be open at 5:00). 


Second, the mystery auction items are looking great!  I wish I could tell you what they are, but then where's the mystery in that?


Third, we still have room for some more folks so bring your friends, family, and even co-workers with you.  Seating is limited, but it's kind of like going to Grandma's on Christmas - the more the merrier.


Finally, here is the last updated list of items I plan to post.  There have been some changes so please make note of update information.
