Silent Auction Success

May 1977

Everybody at the clinic would like to give a big thanks to all who participated in the April Fool’s Day Auction and Film Festival Benefit. Thanks especially to those neighborhood residents and merchants who donated those terrific prizes. There were some real quality acquisitions and a few very unusual ones. And what variety — paintings, dinners, for 4, electric drill, tubs of Naugahyde, piano tuning, 4 foot high plant, refinished antique rocker, babysitting, room painting, 400 cardoor drink holders, and many more.

Amidst the beer, hot pretzels, popcorn and movies the bidding became quite heated at times. In fact, it was heated enough to bring us $800! Thanks again.

If you missed the fun this time, don’t be such an April Fool next year.
