committee
thanks all of our church family who donated so generously and all
who were able to attend. It was a truly
festive evening.
We raised more than $60,000 to help pay down
our mortgage. As we arrived the sun broke through and we enjoyed the
sunset from Indian Trail Club upper patio overlooking the
lake....a beautiful evening in all ways. We are proud to be
West Siders.
