organizers raised approximately $7,000.
That's an average of $437.50 per piece.,
This year they are hoping to have 20 of-
ferings on the block and no doubt in -
creme the amount raised. Using last
year's average the total could come in
the area of $0,750, all for charitY.

this idea as .a Money raising proposition
for the village? Heck we could put the
money towards the sewer project or even
