Silent Auction
Some of the 17 Heartwood volunteers for the Silent Auction
Our Heartwood chapter hosted the Silent Auction held to raise funds for the TMN programs and the meeting next year. Seventeen volunteers staffed the Silent Auction from early morning to late night. Heartwood members donated over 100 items to the auction, several of which received the highest bids. This Silent Auction was the largest ever and raised over $11,600! Our chapter receives 20% of the proceeds.
Congratulations and Thank You!
