Elizabeth Crescent spends the entire year making quilts and other items for the auction from donated materials. She has arthritis so can only work a few hours at a time, but her friends know how much it means to her to be able to help, so they make sure she has the supplies. |

In addition to quilts, this year Elizabeth sent along hand made quilted vests, one the Christmas vest shown; she also made a clown that was very popular at the auction. |

As Laurie looked over the auction items with her grandson, she had not yet thought of the idea. Later, however, she gave a week vacation at the resort where she works in Crystal Beach as an auction item to help "Christmas in August" fundraiser. |
