The First Annual "Man Auction" was held on Thursday March 6, 2008 at Lumberbarons on Bay City's Midland Street. The event was sponsored by the Women's Council of REALTORS (WCR) - Saginaw Valley Chapter . . . and by any standard, this first year event was a very successful fundraiser.
According to Debbie Nation, about 60-70 people attended. "This event was a glorious success," Nation said. "All of the guys that were involved with the live Auction were very good sports and put on a great, fabulous show!"
Nation is the 2008 President Women's Council of REALTORS (R) Saginaw Valley Chapter and an Associate Broker with Best Real Estate in Bay City.
A portion of the proceeds from the WCR Man Auction will go into the Women's Council of Realtors' Education Fund. "This was our 1st annual Man Auction and we hope to enjoy a 2nd annual next year," Nation added.
Amy Lou Gage of BEST Real Estate, and the WCR Ways & Means Committee Chair for the auction was also pleased with the turnout. "The Man Auction was a HUGE success," Gage said. Gage went on to say how grateful the WCR was for the generosity of the men who participated - both the business donors and also the attendees. "We had good food, good company, good fun. It was awesome," Gage went on. "One of the tables just told me that their having a BLAST," Gage added.
