Oak Grovers -- Hope yall had a great weekend! I wanted to give you yet another sneak peek at all the items your ever-diligent (and, might I add, absolutely adorable) Auction Committee has procured...But before I do that, Id like to give a shout-out to those businesses which have donated cold, hard cash! We take that cash and use it to fill a basket -- basically add some purchased items to make that basket even MORE fabulous, or sometimes we just use the money to fill the ENTIRE basket with items, such as Legos (6 years Ive tried and theyve NEVER donated, in spite of all the money Ive given them...sigh...) Anyway, this year we received cash donations from: Interactive Achievement Blue Ridge Cancer Care Jamisons Sharpening Thanks! Now, for your sneak peek. Today Id like to highlight those businesses which are donating for the very first time!
