Silent Auction

The silent auction put together by Jeannie Jacobson had many great items donated by vendors and members. Watch for a complete report on the auction in the next few days.

This years entertainment at the Holiday Party was exceptional. A performance from the Sootprints was a great after dinner treat. The all chimney sweep band played all the favorites including the Decemberists "Chimbley Sweep". Thanks guys. We know you'll rock them down in Winston-Salem at the National Convention!
