Spaghetti Dinner and Auction was a huge success!

We are proud to report that the Spaghetti Dinner and Auction in the 108 Mile Ranch Community Hall on the 15th of March 2008 was a huge success and raised $10680.00 towards the completion of the Soccer Park - Fields!

This would, of course, not have been possible without the help of our two fantastic Auctioneers
Donna Nivision and Donna Barnett who did an excellent job auctioning off the items in an entertaining way!

A very special Thank you! from all of us at the One Hundred Mile Soccer Association to the donors and attendees for making this auction the huge success that it was!
