You’ve read in my column many times my mention of “silent auction items” as the way many charities raise much-needed operating funds, I thought it would be fun for you to see an actual “winning item” in progress.

The highest bidder was Sonya Reiselt, and this past weekend, a group of long time girlfriends shared laughs, fun and wonderful wine at the lovely home of Liz Murdaugh. And the YMCA got the benefits! Here are some pics for you:
