Let me tell you. I have been to many club auctions. But I have never seen two youngsters rock at being runners, like Grace and Ke'a! These gals were super organized, super alert, and super FAST. When Mike, the auctioneer, took the final bid on an item, they had the clipboard ready, grabbed the item, and were off in a flash! The club is all hoping to see them at the next event. Exemplary!
