10 www.DesertMessenger.com December 21, 2016 Operation Hero Comfort auction By Anita Carlson Operation Hero Comfort had our 9th annual Fund Raiser – Silent Auction on Sat 12/10. It was a huge success. We had a great turn out and people were able to get wonderful items. We had more donations this year and therefore we raised more money than previ- ous years. We would like to thank everyone who do- nated and/or attended and supported our efforts. We would like to thank the QIA and Richard Trusty for the use of the building and all of the support and help we received, everyone there was so supportive of us. We would also like to thank Thrivent for the grant again this year. They also supplied volunteers to help set up and clean up. This was truly a community event. What a great example of the wonderful town we live in. Here is a list of all the businesses, vendors, crafters and individuals who donated items. If you shop at any of these places or see any of these people please thank them for their donation.
