Congratulations to Jean Wieder, the Auction Committee, the STRC, and community members who attended the Annual Auction last week on another successful event!
I have been thinking a lot about it over the past few days and about the dedication of the Committee that prepared for it (Jean Wieder, Sarah Bergin, Al Engel, Steve Kendra, Frank Tranzilli and Dan Yocum. What strikes me most is how much each person does for our Club and the community. I attempted to map it out in the table below and I while I am sure I missed some things, it is an impressive list.
Club Member | Responsibilities |
Jean Wieder | STRC and STRC Foundation Secretary Auction Committee Chairperson |
Sarah Bergin | President-Elect Public Relations Chairperson (Bulletin, Social Media, Website) Auction Committee Centennial Committee Chairperson |
Al Engel | Past President BeerFest Chairperson Auction Committee Scholarship Committee Chairperson STEM YEA Club Representative |
Steve Kendra | Past President Auction Committee Rotaplast District Representative and volunteer |
Frank Tranzilli | Vice President Auction Committee BeerFest Committee |
Dan Yocum | Past President Camp Neidig Chairperson Auction Committee Souderton Mayor |
In addition to the tremendous efforts by our Committee, other members of our club were Sponsors (Al and Nancy Engel and Jay and Kathleen Glickman) and many familiar community businesses joined in on the sponsorship too (Bryn Mawr Capital Management, Harleysville Bank, Moyer Indoor/Outdoor, Sanford Alderfer Real Estate, Tri-Valley Insurance, and Univest Bank). Many other members and businesses contributed valuable, fun and creative donations to the event (Moyer Indoor/Outdoor, Sarah Bergin, Starbucks, Care & Share Thrift Shoppes, John and Ann Marie Heidgerd, Jacqueline Silva, Karla Myers, Al Engel, Jean Wieder, Kelly Scarlett and Apple Orchard Café, Chris Moyer, retired Pennridge teacher, Univest, Stacey Palmerio of Love Obsessed, Taylor Kendra VanArsdale, Souderton Interact Club, Brass Collar Brewing & Branch Creek Taphouse, Clarice Foster, Darlene Scott, Jesse’s Barbeque & Local Market, Popcorn Works & Living Branches, Rock Mountain and Sporting Clays, Schillings Barber Shop, JS Stover Beverages, A&T Chevrolet, Ed and Lucy Brubaker, FIFS, Hauge’s CHRISTmas Trees, Harleysville Ace Hardware, Harry Boardman, Keystone Opportunity Center, Dan Yocum, Souderton Borough, Souderton Police, Steve and Judy Kendra, Indian Valley Country Club, Rick Kowey, Celebration Fireworks & the Franconia Township Police Benevolent Association). What a list!
