Each year the CFWC hosts a December Holiday Luncheon and Auction to benefit a selected charity or charities.  Generous donations to the auction are made by local businesses and attendees have a wonderful time celebrating the holidays and visiting with friends while hoping to take home one of the many auction items.

In December 2007, the 27th Annual Holiday Luncheon & Charity Auction was held at nearby Shirley Acres.  The event benefited an organization called SIRE which stands for “self-improvement through riding education”.  The mission of these Houston-based Therapeutic Equestrian Centers is to “improve the quality of life for people with disabilities through horseback riding and related therapeutic activities.” 

On that day over 220 women gathered to participate in the auction and enjoy a fashion show provided by Talbot’s and Siena Salons. Thanks to the hard work of Auction Co-chairs Linda Peters and Susan Barris and Donations Chair, Karla Canchola, we are pleased to report $10,000 was raised for SIRE that afternoon. 

We’d like to thank all those businesses and individuals who donated to the 2007 Auction making it a tremendous success!
