airmail Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Hello everyone; I wanted to share that some autographed Sioux stuff will be auctioned tonight. The benefit is for "Sox for Kids." This is the 20th year of the event. The auction was supposed to be last Saturday night, but was postponed to tonight because of the storm. (I know, Thursdays aren't great, but it was the only night available) Auction Items: Team autographed Sioux jersey Team autographed Sioux football Along with these, there are a bunch of other things too: baked goods, framed art, a tv, a guitar, farm toys, all kinds of stuff. The auction starts at 5:00 at the Thompson Community Center. (tonight!) It will go until whenever... must be 21 to attend. Food and drink will be available. Sox for kids started in 1989, in Northwood. Basically, SfK identifies underpriviledged children in our area, with the help of local school districts. Those kids are given a chaperoned "shopping trip" to buy Christmas presents. (the GF K-Mart closes their store every year for this event... they are wonderful to work with) What usually happens, is the kids buy gifts for their families instead of themselves! Our goal is to get $100 for each child... we usually have about 500 children. The Thompson Mens Club and Sox for Kids appreciates your support, and hopes to see you tonight in Thompson! Thanks!!!!!
