GOING ONCE, TWICE - SOLD
The Rotary Club of Dundas Valley Sunrise held its annual charity auction on Tuesday, December 10, 2019. In 45 minutes, with approximately 50 in attendance, a total of $4,490 was raised for St. Matthew's House.
St. Matthew’s House in Hamilton, Ontario began in 1964 as a storefront ministry called The Compass to help residents of Hamilton’s north end. It formed as an outreach program of the Anglican Diocese of Niagara. It has now grown into a charitable, non-profit multi-service agency serving the needs of the community through children’s services, senior’s support, mental health and street outreach services and a Christmas Adopt-a-Family program.
At the auction, Bruce Eccles once again presided as "auctioneer" with Roger Stewart as his sidekick. Big winner for the day is, of course, St. Matthews House, but Rotary member Jessica Brennan walked away with a huge haul, which included a bonus gift of three collector plates with an "authentication" certificate. Okay, you had to be there. :)
Bruce kept the event lively and fun. The club sends a thanks to all who donated auction items and to all who bid on items.
