We did it! WE LIT UP THE NIGHT! Thank you and congratulations to everyone who participated in 4th U’s auction on Saturday night. 125 members, neighbors and friends attended the exciting event where we raised unprecedented funds for our church and for the Coalition for the Homeless. From the sumptuous dinner prepared by Chef Kim Paradis to the elegant music by members of the Stonewall Chorale to James Wesley’s heavenly singing, the evening was perfect. And who could forget Barry Cherwin, our professional auctioneer? He inspired us to open our wallets and helped us raise ample funds for a gorgeous new chalice and decorative wreathe. The total amount raised will be announced soon.
