Last Call for the John Nugent

You don't want to miss the John Nugent Mission Event (formally ALMA) -- to be held in the newly renovated Mauldin Hall on Sat, Jan. 21. (rescheduled from October) This year's proceeds will benefit Brandon Outreach Clinic. If you are looking for the opportunity to enjoy a tasty lunch and fellowship with friends, while supporting a vital community charity, be sure to get your ticket. There will be a cash room, silent auction items and a live auction. Perhaps you have a few items you would be willing to contribute to the cause, or just want to be part of the bidding fun.
