The action was lively at the auction and lunch held at the Jeffery Hale Pavilion last Friday. The purpose of the event, coordinated by Jeffery Hale Community Partners, Jeffery Hale Community Services, and open to JH Pavilion friends, was to raise funds to help the Community Christmas Hamper Campaign get out of the red, which they did to the amount of $845.
