The youth of Santa Monica First Ward held a fundraiser on October 13 in order to raise money for the coming year's activities. It was successful to say the least. Most of the ward members donated goods and services to be auctioned off at the dinner. Nearly all of the items were purchased and all of the serviced were bid on, some numbering the the hundreds of dollars. The auction was done 2 ways. First was a silent auction where people wrote down bids on different items, second was a traditional auction where members battled to win many excellent services. There was also a guest artist who donated her time to draw portraits of anyone willing to donate $10. The dinner it's self was served for a donation of $5. The youth and youth leaders did a spectacular job of putting the event together. Everyone in attendance had a great time.
Most of the ward came to support the youth.

Terence Later donated a pot of homemade chili to be prepared when requested. Shane Swensen happily purchased the service! Who doesn't love Brother Later's cooking?
The guest artist and the missionaries!
