The school and its students all benefit greatly from the Annual Dinner and Auction, so thanks to Kyle and Dawn Vaubel for the countless hours spent planning the event along with all of the great BMCHS staff and volunteers.

Now, it's time to take a breather, and then begin to plan for next year's event. Good luck to Mike and Linda Corcoran, the 2013 Chairs! We can't wait to see what you have in store for next year's Auction.
