Seasons Greetings!
With the end of 2013 approaching, the Cannon Spouses’ Club is ending the year on a high note. After months of planning and preparation, on November 22, the CSC hosted our Annual Charity Auction, themed “It’s a Wonderful Life.” We were fortunate enough to have numerous generous donors contribute everything from grills and fireplaces, to gym memberships and kids toys. And thanks to the time and effort of all our volunteers, the night was a huge success. Over 200 people attended the event at The Landing, in spite of the icy weather. It was an unforgettable night and we raised $24,000 for charity! That is over a 50% increase from last year’s auction - amazing.
This hard-earned money goes directly into various charitable projects. We provide birthday gifts to orphans in Portales, Random Acts of Kindness benefiting Cannon AFB families, support for our airmen and their programs, among other community charitable efforts. But most of all, we were able to double our scholarship money to awarding $9,000 this upcoming year to deserving Cannon spouses and kids.
The success of the Auction will open many doors. And we, the CSC Board, are so excited about the wonderful things we can do for our Cannon AFB, Clovis and Portales communities with this money. Thank you again to those who contributed to the Auction’s success. 2014 will be better than ever for the CSC!
Best wishes,
Priscilla Swantner, CSC President
