The bidding for our annual food drive this year is over and WE HAVE MET OUR GOAL!  We really wanted to collect more food items this year than last year though we had set quite a high standard by collecting 1066 items last year.  Then, on the last day that we were accepting bids, we got a few large bids in and we were able to meet and surpass the number we collected last year!  Thanks to all of you who were generous and kind enough to send in a bid and get involved.  The top eight bidders have bid to donate a combined total of…

THANK YOU again to everyone who sent in a bid!  That is just absolutely amazing!!!!!  The top eight bidders who have won a holiday themed mini session with the disc of images are:

4. Lauren

5. Mary

6. Chelsea

7. Denise

8. Heather

Half of the bids were for more than 200 food items each!  That’s so amazing and generous!!  Some people sent in a bid but also said they might donate even more on the day of the sessions so we will share the exact numbers and the total amount of food items that were donated after the food is collected.

I will be emailing the winning bidders today so that they can choose their time slot for a mini session this Saturday, the 12th.

Thank you so very much to the generous winners and to all of you who took part of the bidding!  Anyone who still wants to drop off food or Publix gift cards can do so as well.  Just email us for drop off info and location.  Anything you can give is great.  As Mother Teresa said, “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”
