We were so happy to be back at Buckets for our good old tradition of the Holiday Luncheon and Auction. We will actually miss our Zoom parties that Janis and Robin created for us. And we are thankful to our past presidents, Lynn, Karen, and Robin, who carried us through the COVID pandemic. But glad to have lunch together in person now, along with all the fun the auction brings.
Here are the participants visiting before we started.
We even had several men in attendance this year. Here you can also see the party favors and table decorations.
We do enjoy our wonderful and fun bartender Tom.
Shopping for Priced Items, Sign-Ups, and Silent Auction Items, as well as looking over the Live-Auction Items.
I wish we had pictures of everything for sale. They were all so fun and very creative, like these hats for Frosty, filled with snacks and candy, made by Janis!
Soon Peter the fabulous Cook brought out our 2 soups, breadsticks, pasta salad, veggies and dip, and build-your own sandwich trays.
Lunch was delicious!
Tom took a picture of all of us...
... and another one of just the members. It was a nice turnout for our first big fundraiser after 2 years in isolation.
