Fundraiser Results

The numbers are in and the fundraiser dinner proved to be a HUGE success. So many people came out to support our mission efforts from all of our circles and beyond. The cafeteria was so full that we even set up tables outside for diners. We had so many great volunteers help to make it such a successful evening. Many thanks to Adam Kreft and the Muddy River Ramblers (http://blog.muddyriverramblers.com/?p=5) for their great music. We went in with some projections for the evening and were blown away at the money that was raised (more than double our projections). Almost $12,000 was collected for the mission efforts! It's absolutely amazing to see the power of so many come together for one great cause. Many people have asked who the winners were of the "big raffle" so we have decided to post them. Please note all of the items were donated (most by the businesses themselves) so feel free to thank them with your support if you are ever in the St. Louis area. Drumroll please...and the winners are:
