An evening of food, refreshments and fun,
the Building Dreams Auction was a great success thanks to the auction
committee and all of the enthusiastic bidders. Congrats to our
supporters for helping us to raise almost $35,000 this year. And special
thanks to our auction sponsors: St. Petersburg Times, Sembler, Catalina
Marketing, ProVise and Eastern Financial Federal Credit Union.

Youth United and St. Pete High students help set up the event. |
The culinary students donated their time and talents to make
this years' event a success. They even baked and decorated a
Habitat gingerbread house, which was given to the highest bidder
of the evening. |
Items like this Asian Chow table
were a big hit, especially with these bidders. |
Auction items were donated by local businesses and community
members. All the money raised goes to support Pinellas Habitat. |
Items were divided into three sections. Each time a section was
about to close, the bidding wars really heated up. |
Executive Director Barbara Inman greets the crowd before the
