The Philippines mission team members wish to express our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the spaghetti dinner and silent auction fundraiser at Chaparral Homemade Ice Cream this past Sunday.

We were blessed by the generosity of the many Wickenburg businesses who donated store items or gift certificates for the auction:

Miners Creek, Copper State Cycles, Riata, K-9 Doggy Day Care, CVS Pharmacy, Stewart Hardware, Serenity Farms, Checker Auto, The Red Flower Barn, Silver Buckle Salon and Spa, Big O Tires, Chicken Noodle Caf/, Sizzling Wok, Ginny’s Vitamin Village, Wickenburg Oil, Del E. Webb Center, Cary’s Pizza, Wickenburg Community Hospital Fitness Center, Johnson’s Dry Goods, Wickenburg Tire, It’s a Bling Thing, Eco Car Wash, Arizona’s Computer Solution, Ace Hardware, Chaparral, DJ’s New Frontier, Serenity Farms, Qorri’s Restaurant, and Divine Design Studio.

Thanks to everyone who came and ate spaghetti, bid on an item, or enjoyed the music and ice cream. We thank our church family at Community Alliance Church for their prayers and support. And a very, very special thank you to the owners of Chaparral Homemade Ice Cream - Tony and Pam Rovida - for providing their experience, wisdom, their facilities, great live music, and a kitchen boasting two marvelous cooks - Tony Rovida and Mike Brink - and of course the best ice cream in the world.

All proceeds will be used to buy Bibles, VBS supplies, and medicine. God bless all of you!
