Good Shepherd Manor's 1st Virtual Brunch Auction - "I Want To Hold Your Hand!"
Good Shepherd Manor's VIRTUAL Brunch Auction is happening the week of August 10-15. Even though we "Want to Hold Your Hand" (our theme) we know this is the right decision for the health and safety of all. Join us for a groovy experience!
Good Shepherd Manor's Brunch Auction has gone VIRTUAL for the first time ever! We still "Want to Hold Your Hand" and as they did in the 60's, we are going to use our "flower power" to bring you a one of a kind, "groovy" experience......from the comfort of your own home!
Well today is the day! The final day of Good Shepherd Manor's 1st Virtual Brunch Auction (would have been the 46th in person)! We have one FINAL VIDEO that we do not want you to miss to close out the Virtual Brunch Auction week from Gary Ryan, Erin and Jan. We hope you have enjoyed this virtual experience as much as we have enjoyed creating it for you!
If you have not had a chance to check out the auction website and register (FREE), today is your last chance! With over 100 items there is something for everyone! The virtual experiences are top notch; with travel opportunities for Los Cabos, California, Colorado, Florida, and the Chicago area. There are baskets of goodies, skincare, jewelry, car care, designer purses, special 60's themed items, White Sox tickets for 2021, games, kid-friendly items and more! Wouldn't the Virtual Wildlife Experiences be a great gift for a special animal lover in your life? It would be like going to the zoo in your own living room!
Don't worry if you missed any of the videos from the week of the Virtual Brunch Auction. We have them right here! The Kick Off Video from Monday features Gary Ryan and Brother Alphonsus. The second video features a special message from Bruce Fitzpatrick, President of GSM and several special guests. Day Three's video was an outstanding performance by some of our talented Chorus and Signers. They worked so hard individually to share their special talents since they had not been able to practice together due to the pandemic. Day Four tells the story of Good Shepherd Manor throughout the last 50 years and explains how you can be a part of ensuring the "Next 50 Years"! On Day Five we focused attention on the "109 Reasons Why" we do what we do! Those 109 reasons are the residents here at Good Shepherd Manor and the video for that day allowed a peek into life at the Manor.
If you did not get a chance to start your own table (team) or make a donation on this site, but you are interested in how you might be able to support Good Shepherd Manor in other ways, we encourage you to check out our Next 50 Years Fund campaign on our GSM Shepherd's Endowment Page .
