2022 Paint the Paper Pink

Page 17 2022 PAINT THE PAPER PINK Lincoln Daily News Oct/Nov 2022 At the end of the night, guests were assisted with checkout by Fry, Bridge, Becky Logan and Lisa Ramlow. They were then encouraged to head to the next room, where photographer Mitch Douglas awaited them. Some were a bit shy and dodged out a side door with no picture taken. Even so, Douglas ended up with 30 great photos of buyers. Props had been provided by Cindy Guyett and some took advantage of the fun little accessories for their photo op. During the live auction there were a large number of big ticket items this year. And there were items that we may or may not ever see in the auction again. Three such items were the little yellow fellows made by Carol Charron and donated by Charron Auto Repair. The Charrons are retiring and are ready to start a new chapter in their lives. The tanks the little yellow fellows are made of come from the auto repair. So, that particular medium may not be available in the future for Carol to turn into sweet little works of art. The Friends and Family Relay Team thanks them for contributing to the auction. Oddly enough, it would not be the last time that these little guys show up in the community. All three were purchased by Tim Canady who said that he would be placing them in the long line of gifts for the drawing to be held on Saturday at the Modern Brake ribbon cutting and open house. Canady is the son-in-law of Kevin Ray and the business would officially be turned over to Tim and wife Libby during the Saturday celebration. In all, it was a great night. The auctions brought in more than $22,000 for the ACS. Because there are so many people who are willing to provide what it needed for the auction free of charge, the full amount will go to the American Cancer Society for the battle against breast cancer. It is a worthy battle and a worthy cause. In 2022 more than $287,000 women in America will be diagnosed with some stage and form of breast cancer. More than 46,000 women will leave this earth for a better place with no cancer and no pain. CONTINUED u
