2018 Paint paper pink

2018 Paint the Paper Pink Lincoln Daily News October 2018 Page 117 together items for the Pink Pumpkin Auction. Those memories included working with a huge number of people to pull off a successful fundraiser to benefit the American Cancer Society and Relay for Life of Logan County. We will remember collecting items for the auction, seeing how creative the people of this community are and how generous they are. We will remember working closely with Erv and Cindy Guyett of Collision Concepts to hold the fundraiser. We will remember the generosity of people like Mike Maske who conducted the auction and Lincoln Printers who helped out tremendously with invitations, programs and much more. We will remember Gail’s Pumpkin Patch’s donation of real pumpkins for our volunteer designers to decorate. We will remember the great food and drink at the auction, all provided by the Guyett’s. We will also remember with great fondness our Logan County Fair royalty who came and helped with the auction, and all the fun we had watching the bidders vie for the 51 items offered for sale. We will remember all those who came to the fundraiser and a candy bar bouquet that brought in $500 and the generous bidding of everyone in attendance that brought that evening total to $6,000. We will remember the people who donated money throughout the month. The District 27 schools gave their blue jean money to Relay for Life through the LDN/CCA/Collision Concepts Friends and Family Relay Team. Country Aire in Atlanta hosted a day-long fundraiser for the team, Graue Chevrolet doubled their winning bid on some of the items they purchased on auction night. Erv Guyett matched dollar for dollar the item in the auction that brought $500. Alice Engel got matching funds from her employer for the items she purchased at the auction, and The Town and Country Bank in Lincoln donated the proceeds from their bake sales to the relay team. While funds were still being counted for the evening, LDN’s photographer Mitch Douglas said he wanted to fill the gap with what ever it took to round up the nights count to an even $6,000 (about $125). Mitch volunteered his photography services that evening, his wife Margie contributed designs and purchased designs. Another perfect couple working in tandem for the cure. With all this, our total money raised for the month of October came to $7,250. That is an amazing amount of money and much more than we ever expected. CONTINUE ...
