HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The exact numbers won't be known for a few days but it appears that the Mennonite Relief Sale held over the weekend in Hutchinson was a success.
According to Jim Robb, the event will take in around $600,000 which is higher than in previous years. Robb said the general auction took in about $237,000, the quilt auction about $85,000 and the quilters corner another $27,000. The 5K fun run Saturday morning netted another $29,000 and the feeding of the multitude took in $46,000. The full total of all donations and other items will be released soon.
The sale is sponsored by Kansas Mennonite, Brethren in Christ and Amish congregations and raises funds for the Mennonite Central Committee, a world relief organization.
