Message From Courtney -

 

Tuesday’s silent auction at L&I raised over $4,000!!!  It was the largest fundraiser L&I had ever seen.  We are amazed by everyone’s generosity.  It was astounding to see how many gift baskets and other items were donated. It was incredible.   I was able to visit yesterday and was very touched by all that I saw and how much love there is for my Mom.

 

Although she won’t be coming back to work she has many friends that are going to miss seeing her every day and who won’t let her become a stranger.

 

We’ll soon be announcing the date for the larger auction – we’re looking at late August.  More details to come.

 

Again, thank you to every one of you who helped organize the L&I auction, donated items, baked sweet treats, volunteered to man the booth, made purchases, cash donations and for helping make her dreams come true. 

 

On behalf of my Mom and our entire family – we are overwhelmed with gratefulness – thank you!

      Kathy, family & L&I friends,

      What a huge success and tribute the auction must have been!
      I'm also glad you've decided to retire and enjoy every moment Kathy.

      Think of you all often.
