10th annual MLC Benefit Auction held Friday evening
The 10th annual Mountain Lake Christian (MLC) Benefit Auction was held Friday evening, April 4, at the school. The event featured both a live auction, as well as a silent gift basket auction.
Featured on the auction block were 124 unique items and services – most from local businesses and individuals.
Meal concessions were also available.
A total $35,000 was raised from the event.
Below are some photographs from both the live and silent auctions:
