[AT] Holiday Charity Auction Results

[Mark Greer]

I have a Mennonite neighbor who has gone with a men's group from his church
to do disaster relief work all over the country. He is gone for a week at a
time 3 or 4 times a year for as far back as I can remember. I know they went
out west for the fires last year and somewhere down south for a tornado or
hurricane.
