Church Community Auction Set For Sept. 16

The Times has learned that the Dorchester United Methodist Church’s 20th Annual Community Auction will be held Sunday, September 16. Dorchester area residents are strongly encouraged to join the fun “under the tent” south of the church building. Auction items are currently being accepted at the church. Some items already promised or received include: oak shelf with quilt bar; oak coat/hat rack; baby afghans and dolls with afghans; a day of hunting for a youth; canned items; goat soap; horseradish; cornhusker man’s watch; frozen ducks; John Deere wall décor; southeast Nebraska cookbook collection; Hallmark ice cream serving set; Mexican fiesta for six; and children’s giving bank & gift certificates.

The day's event also includes a BBQ and bake sale. For more information on donating auction items, contact Vicky Parks 946-4691 or Carol Olson 946-3531.

Cash donations of all amounts are being accepted. The donations will be used to purchase a weekend get-away that will be auctioned off under the tent on auction day. For information on cash donations, contact Bernice Weber at 946-4191. Also, all the children are invited to bring a cake for the cake auction -- and bring grandpa and grandma, too, to raise the stakes. For information on the cake auction, call Lindsay Zoubek at 946-2198.

Finally, bring your surplus garden produce to the free-will country market.

  1. I wish more of Dorchester's organizations (youth groups included) did fundraisers. We could have so much more around town and it would be appreciated by everyone who contributed.

  3. I agree with bob.......... we need more groups pulling themselves up by the bootstraps and raising money. Take a lesson from the church which can't ask for gov't handouts..................
