For the past decade Research team member Maggie Carter and her husband, Mike Carter have organized and run an auction at the Miner Institute staff Christmas party to raise funds to benefit the JCEO. With no staff Christmas party this year due to the pandemic, we opted to try a virtual auction where we would accept auction donations and set them up in our auditorium and then sell tickets to staff over a two week period. We received nearly 60 donations for the auction, including dozens of hand knit and crocheted items from Jane Boulerice, whose items are highly coveted every year!  

On December 11, we held our auction via Zoom.  Mike Carter came in to help Maggie with the auctioneering.  We are so pleased that we raised $1,078!!  Big thanks to Maggie and Mike and to all of the staff who donated items and who purchased tickets to help support this great cause!  We are so grateful to have been able to carry out this annual event and hope to be able to bring it back in person in 2021!
