Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction Fundraiser

At the end of April the young men and young women combined to put on a Spaghetti Dinner and silent auction to raise money for our camps this summer. We worked hard weeks before passing out flyers and visiting with the neighborhood so they would know about the activity and be excited about coming. We were excited by all of the donations from our youth and others in the ward for services and other items to donate for people to bid on. Our young women were busy doing lots of babysitting and our young men were working on lots of yard work.

The night of the dinner, everyone had their aprons ready and were busy serving everyone who came. We had spaghetti with a choice of a meat or no-meat sauce, green salad with a choice of ranch of Italian dressing and a roll. We made desserts and sold those as well. It was great to see every table full and so many of our ward family there to support us. Luckily, Kierstin and Kaycee had come early to help . . . so when Sister Bird set off the fire alarms at the church, they were there to help. Kierstin and Kaycee also did an awesome job making all of the salads. Look at them all lined up and ready to go!

Tyler and all of the servers did a great job making sure that all of our guests had a great time. They worked tirelessly serving and bussing. They were so hungry by the time they finally got to eat at the end of the night.

After dinner and before the end of the auction, the ward activities committee put on a talent show. Some of our youth also participated in this and did a great job. Kierstin and Kaycee sang, Juliana played the piano, Amy sang the piano and played, Jason and Angel played guitar, and Alaynah did a monologue. Loved them all!

All in all, we had a great time serving together and everyone who came enjoyed themselves. We were able to earn an incredible amount for camp. Thank you to everyone who participated to make this event such a success!
