Auction - Can You Help?? No Money Required!

Hey guys,


I am writing because we have an opportunity before us and you might be able to help - no, we're not asking for money ... at least not this time ;) but you may have something or even better, know someone who has something that can help.

If you've been to the Rez with us then you are aware of the "hole" that is next to the church building in Allen. This hole is not only an eyesore but it really presents a safety issue with the kids. Fred H. has it on his heart to do something about that. Don't ya love it when someone gets a vision and starts to make things happen. :) Fred is organizing a crew of a few skilled men/women to go out to the Rez a week before our scheduled mission trip to begin work on "the hole". Our hopes and plans are to make take what is a problem there and make it into something very useful - an amphitheater that could be used for services of all sorts. This will cost around $12,000 - $15,000 to do - we want to do it "right" and build it in such a way that at some point they could put a ceiling on if they choose to.

That's a lot of money. A whole lot of money. So, we will be having an auction in the early part of 2009 to help raise money for this project. We are also looking into some others ways to fund this project but we simply aren't going to come up with it all in one place. So, if you have any items or know of anyone who might have some items they would be willing to donate to this auction, please let us know ASAP. We are interested in all sorts of items but really need a few big tickets items to put in the auction. Feel free to pass this email along to anyone you know that might be interested as well.

If you can help out in this way, shoot me back an email or see me at church.
