2007 Luncheon & Raffle Update
Here’s an update of the November 30, 2007 Luncheon Auction & Raffle held at the Multnomah Athletic Club. Quilts For Kids and CARES Northwest presenting:
Our gross amount was over $50,000! The item going for the most was the Evening with Julianne Johnson & Friends. There were two women hotly bidding and Julianne was generous beyond belief! She added another evening so each of the bidders bought an Evening with Julianne Johnson & Friends! Each evening went for over $2,000.00! It was great fun! There were surprises when some of the quilt items brought more than expected. The raffle made over $4,000.00 and some very happy people went home with what they wanted. The MAC ballroom was beautifully decorated, the table settings were divine and the food truly delicious! Nadia and Teri Nowak gave each attendee a copy of their book A Bird in Hand about the hummingbird who stayed with their family for part of a winter. It is beautifully illustrated by Teri. Teri also gave an original painting for the auction.
