WELCOME!
Welcome to the MCS Auction in the historic C.I.O. building! We’re thrilled to have you join us!
WHY WE’RE HERE Did you know that Muskegon was known as the “Arsenal of Democracy” during WWII and was nationally recognized for it’s key role in supporting the war effort? Our city has a rich industrial heritage and we’re celebrating that tonight with our theme and location at the C.I.O hall! All the proceeds from tonight’s auction go to support our students at MCS. We are encouraged by all those who help secure the future of Christian education in Muskegon with prayers and support. Thank you! Thank you as well to the many businesses who have supported our auction tonight with their donations. We encourage you to thank them with your future patronage. Thanks again for joining us at 5pm on Saturday, May 6th for an unforgettable evening at the 2017 MCS Auction! Your ‘CEO’, Dan DeKam P.S.
