Charlene's box going for a good cause

[I just noticed, after posting this, that Stacy posted the same news in a comment a few days ago. I haven't figured out how to get e-mail nudges whenever people add comments to the main entries, so I miss things. Oops. Will leave this post here anyhow for anyone else, like me, who is subscribing to the blog and sees only the top-level entries.]

I talked with Elizabeth today. She asked me to post the volunteers' decision about what to do with the package that Charlene's family sent. There's great stuff in it, and the group didn't want to split it up. At the same time they've been planning an auction fundraiser, and not much stuff was donated to auction off. So (you can see where this is going), they decided to auction off this package full of wonderful things. Charlene and family, if you're reading this, know that everyone is thinking of you with fond memories and gratitude.
