With barn quilts\, jewelry and even a weekend getaway\, there is truly something for everyone. You won’t want to miss this! \nWe have chosen Charity Auctions Today to host our online auction for 2020. This site makes it easy for anyone to view the items and place bids. \nDon’t feel comfortable bidding online? No problem!
