THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

"Team Charlene" would like to thank each and every one of you who participated in the benefit auction last Saturday from the bottom of our hearts!! Those of you who donated items to auction, time, talents, baked goods, bought a T-shirt, purchased at the auction or made a donation, each and every token of love was appreciated! When I think about all the genuinely great people we know and many who we had never met that came out to support the auction, it makes me feel so blessed to be a part of a community that will come together to help someone in need. I hope we get another chance to do something that makes us feel even half as good as we've felt since the auction. Because of the HUGE support of the community and many answered prayers, the Team Charlene Auction was a major success!! Together as a team we had set a dollar amount we were hoping to raise through the auction to assist the Holbrook family with their medical bills. We are very proud to announce that as a community family, we were able to DOUBLE that goal! Wow! This tells me that when people come together for a good cause, BIG things can happen! Thank you once again for ALL of your support and love!

Sincerely,
Team Charlene
A note from Charlene:

Our family would like to thank every person who was involved in the benefit auction! There were so many who sacrificed so much to make the event a success and we are truly grateful. We were in awe when we saw the crowds of people coming into the gym! It was an amazing sight and something we will never forget. Thank you for the generous donations of food, time, money, baskets, items to auction, etc. Our hope and prayer is that each one of you will be greatly blessed for what you have done for our family. We are so excited to be able to turn the tables and give to others in need in our ward and community!

With love,
Charlene Holbrook and family
