Havdallah Campfire Auction... WOW!
March 24, 2007
What a fantastic success! Our first
announcement was just three weeks before this fantastic event which drew 80
people.
This event was very
TAO
. It was earthy, comfortable, loving, spirited and spiritual.
Anne Goldberg's property is amazing and an awesome venue. Our newest
member Sandy King and his son Jason worked hard for many hours to build the
captivating stone fire pit that was the center of our Havdallah. Jason and
Bob Offer get the credit for getting the fire lit and keeping it up so well
despite the soggy conditions.
Once the fire to
going, Bob Offer filled the air with the beautiful sounds of his flute as the
sun set and evening took on its full glory of bright twinkling stars. Bob
Heaton and Joyce Goobic's divine music set the tone for the beautiful service
created by Rabbi Marc and Kabbalah Shaman-in-Training Will Molasky.
Food was donated by Sue and Ron Gotlin, Myrna
Wolf and Anne Goldberg. Lee and Dee Sacks donated beer and wine.
The outpouring of auction donations was superb and heartfelt with donations
coming to us with virtually no solicitation... and boy, did they pour in!
In all, 34 items were snatched by excited buyers. Our gratitude goes
to these generous auction donors...
