The evening begins!



It was a night of elegance and beauty...and hearts on fire for Christian education.


Ms. Oppermann kept the beautiful music flowing during the social hour and into the dinner as well!


Didn't mean to hold you up from bidding, ladies, but you take a great picture.


Dozens of Lakeside students made this night even more fun as they kicked in to help serve and wait and clean.


Well over 200 packages were up for silent auction bidding during the social hour.

Even with a glorious chandelier, Jesus remained the primary focus of the evening.


Daniel & Christine Behl, with Chris' Essential Options LLC health and wellness business, underwrote the dinner with a $2,000.00 donation.


J&L Tire, Inc. and co-owner Lyle Wuestenberg were recognized as dessert and live auction sponsor with a $1,000.00 donation.


The live auction began with a friendly game of heads or tails...


Now choose your head or tail on stage...no pressure, finalists.


Down to the last four contestants...and they gave back all their winnings anyway!


Mike Stade entertained the crowd with his auctioneering skills and banter.
