With the weather changing, more than 200 gathered at Country Oaks Baptist Church to celebrate life and the ministry of the Family Life Pregnancy Center. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner, catered by Apple Shed. Following dinner we were entertained as four of the local Pastors served as auctioneers for our auction. The grand total for the auction was $10,800.
Through the generosity of our donors, there was something for everyone. We wish to express our thanks to the auction donors and the donors of our door prizes for the evening.

We appreciate the support of so many. This year was the most successful event held in many years. The total income for the event is $20,300 and more may be coming in. The funds raised at the Spring Event will carry the Family Life Pregnancy Center through the slight times. We were excited to share with those in attendance a new DVD about the Center and the programs available. We wish to thank Heidi & Lauryn Stone for their efforts. Also, we want to thank Melissa Nixon for her talent in creating the centerpieces and flower arrangements.
Many hands came together and created a wonderful, successful evening. If you want to learn more about the Family Life Pregnancy Center or schedule a showing of our video for your organization, church or bible study group, call our office, 823-8255. We live in a great community.
