The week has finally arrived, it’s foundation auction!
It’s really good time to remember why we do this and the people that we’re helping. We are very fortunate in our country to live the way we do and have the lives that we are accustomed to.
But we can never forget the hardship and issues that are going on outside our bubbles and around the rest of the world. We need to remember this leading up to the auction. Every time you donate a product or bid on an item, you’re helping someone in need.
And that is why we put so much heart and effort into the international committees foundation night.
To Carolyn and the International committee, I look forward to seeing you all there and all the best with Thursday night!
