- 8/12/2007 7:00:00 AMAuction FundraiserI received a phone call from Pastor Kuhn this morning. Bahrke Auction and Real Estate is doing an auction in our area and needs someone to run a food stand to sell burgers and drinks. In the past, Pastor Kuhn has been able to organize some of the kids from our youth group to do this. In many cases, he, his wife and his children have manned the food stand to raise money for the church.
The city of Oconto Falls allows our church to perform 3 non-church related fund raisers per year. Since the church's primary mission is to spread the Word of the Lord, any fund raising event where the gospel is presented does not count as one of the 3 provided for by the city. The youth group has already worked 2 such auction events this year and so we are going to hold onto the last "free" opportunity we have until we need it.
Meanwhile, Bahrke's needs someone to work the food stand so Pastor called me early Sunday morning and asked if I was interested. I called Mr. Bahrke Sunday afternoon and worked out some of the details. Bottom line - we have another fund raiser this Saturday. We'll be cooking burgers and selling soda and water.
I'm excited! Thank you Pastor! Thank you Bahrke's!
Thank you LORD!
