Sterry’s 20th Annual Auction and Gravy Feed

Sterry’s 20th Annual 
Auction and Gravy Feed
is Saturday, March 4th!
 
It’s hard to believe that 20 years ago the sole purpose of the Sterry Auction was to pay off debt of the “new building”  - and yet there are some who are so new to the area and to Sterry that they do not realize the building hasn’t always been exactly as it stands today.  The original vision for the Auction was debt reduction.  Here we are, 20 years later, raising funds for expansion of our next generation through our Youth Director.  The purpose of the 2017 Auction and Gravy Feed is to raise support for our Youth Director’s annual salary as well as associated Special Ministry Funds.  What started as a means to pay off expansion of the building has become a means to financially support the “building” of our future through our youth!  
 
We have awesome volunteers that go around to local businesses and ask for donations, but are always looking for items to put in the auction. Some  ideas for donating may be providing service of some kind, donating an entertainment event for a small group, getting gift certificates from various places, new or custom furniture or decor, outdoor/indoor activities etc.  Examples of items that have been donated in the past: Jet Boat Ride, fishing trip, tickets to sporting events, handmade rustic decor, Handmade Quilt, gutters installed, hay cutting, landscaping, patio furniture, athletic gear etc.  
 
If you have something to donate, please put it in the Boardroom with a note stating: your name, who donated the item(s), approximate value, and address for “thank you” letter.
