This
year’s PAA Fun Auction was a great success
due to overwhelming chapter, advertiser and vendor
support. Many quality and exciting donations were
received to bolster a grand total of over $19,000.
Some of the highlights included newspaper ads from
$250 to $950; a water crock with the PAA logo from
the Southwest Chapter for $275; 3-night stay at
the Sheraton for $230; auctioneer sign for $600;
quilts for $450 and $500; Ford pedal
car $200; 2-day turkey hunt $250; ’08 conference
registration $325; portable auction stand from the
Northwest Chapter for $900; condo weekend $350;
trap shoot $395; and a website design $500.
The team of Nevin Rentzel and Olen Knecht sold the
last 8 neckties in existence many times for a total
of $1,190! These neckties have raised thousands
of dollars for our association.
The Central Chapter has issued a big ‘thank
you’ to everyone who was instrumental in carrying
out the necessary plans to set up the fun auction,
who contributed time and effort in acquiring goods
and services to be sold, and who supported the PAA
by donating items, selling them and purchasing items.
Thank you to everyone from the Central Chapter who
provided their help and expertise and also to the
HACC auction students for helping with the auction.
