To all who helped with the Wetzel County Shelter auction:

We apologize for this letter being so late, but are thankful for all participants, assistants, bidders, and donors who made the event such a great success. This will be the first of several letters as to not exceed word limit allowance.

We would like to begin first thanking our donors (which will take more than one letter) and then thank all of the people who worked so hard to put the event together. Let us apologize ahead of time for anyone we may leave out and please let us know if we omit your name.

First, we would like to thank Terry Cozart (Cozart Auctions) for donating his time annually to do our auction. Thanks to Quinet’s for the discounted rate for the yummy marinara spaghetti dinner. Thanks to the Wetzel County Extension Office and Commission for donating the Mollohan Center. Advertising thanks go to Power Country 104 and 99.5 radio stations, the Wetzel Chronicle/Tyler Star News, and The Green Tab for printing articles and ads about the auction.
