The 2006 Antique Auction went very well netting the Society $13,425 out of sales exceeding $50,000.  The weather was wet, but that didn’t stop those interested in excellent antiques. We had over 100 bidders for the day.  The success is a reflection of the hard work of the committee chaired by Donna Henrikson and Henry & Janet von Wodtke, the many volunteers, consignors and several consignors who gifted their items. I would also like to give special thanks to Gil Tyler & Anne O’Connor who went out and evaluated all the consignments in addition to many other duties, Auctioneer Joe Kabe, Wine donated by Jeff & Deb Werner, Flowers donated & arranged by Harry White, and Security and traffic by Bob DiBella and Mike Roberts.
