What a wonderful success the Pie Auction was at Morgantown Care and Rehab this past Friday! A big thank you to all our volunteers who brought in pies and desserts to be auctioned off and also to our elders who made some of the pies. There was such a great community response as well. Many of our local politicians came out and showed their support for our elders.
At 5:30 we began with a BBQ supper and bluegrass music. The delicious BBQ was prepared by our Quality of Life department and the desserts that were served with supper were made by volunteers. Where did all the time go as we waited for the auction to begin? I don’t know but there was a lot of great conversation and visits happening between community members in attendance and our elders.
Woody Allen served as our auctioneer and so long as he kept his hands off the mic it was working! He started all of our items at a modest asking price and most of them grew and grew. There were quite a few bidding wars between local rivals but all was in good fun. Mayor Linda Keown said playfully after a bidding war with MCRC’s Chaplain, Derek Cain, “I’m gonna pray for you tonight!” Our top dollar pie was a chocolate pie made by Hall of Fame Volunteer, Iris Moore. The pie went for $130!
It was a great evening of fun and fellowship and raising funds for our elders’ vacation to Disney World. Thank you to everyone who made this evening possible and such a success. Below is a list of individuals who bid and won in our Pie Auction. All of them made generous gifts to the quality of life of our elders at Morgantown Care and Rehab. All in all the evening yielded $1,390!
