carrot blue topeas and diamond ring that they've given us
to mean, I'm telling you the live auction. I hope
there are numbers flying people laughing and that, and the
bidding just keeps going up and up, because it will
be probably one of the highlights of the event outside
of mingling and just having a good time with everybody.

And Rick's ready. Rick and his sons get out there
and they're normally catalouctioneers, but they dress up. They join
us at the patron party, they kick it off and
it's all business. Get that number ready, people, because we're
we're going to have a good time and we're going
to raise you know, we're going to raise some good,
good money for elder care by doing all these things.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
So we could not do the good and the bad
and the barbecue, which really is it is the premiere
fundraising event for Eldercare, and I'd be remiss if I
did not for a moment say, you know, Eldercare is
there as the resource in this area for all of
(09:29):
us to age gracefully and to age with dignity and
independently at home for as long as possible.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
