9th annual The 9th Annual Endow- ment Association Scholarship Auction netted over 538,949 for academic scholarships. The auction featured a Mar- di Gras theme complete with live jazz entertainment, jumbo gulf shrimp, clowns and costumes. Over 200 items were donated by local businesses and individuals for the even- ing festivites. The site of the auction was the 3i building on the Finney County Fairgrounds. A trip to the races, a Silver Bullet basketball with Bobby Knight's autograph, a used car, a tailgate party, homemade bread for a year, and jewelry were just a few of the items donated. I was thrilled by the sup- port and generosity of the community for their effort and help in getting this all together, Endowment Direc- tor Sheryl Handy said. The help of the students and alumni was absolutely outstanding. I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to work with on this, she said. According to Handy, the auction seemed to have something for everyone. The selection has been big- ger and better every year. Auction Endowment G E I , I RDI GRAS This year we had a wide varie- ty and a lot of unique items because that seems to appeal to people, Handy said. The most unique item donated was a set of Denver Bronco tickets. They are uni- que because they are not readi- ly available due to the fact that they are always sold out years in advance, she said. Donated by Denver physi- cian and GCCC alumnus Paul Taylor, the tickets were com- bined with hotel rooms. High bidder was Mary Beth Williams of Garden City at 51,525. Two drawings were held during the evening. GCCC Business Manager john Dickerson won a 550 gold American Eagle coin valued at 5500. The coin was donated by Western State Bank. Curt Harman, Garden City, was the winner of 5500 in cash donated by Landmark Federal Savings Association. Coors of the Southwest and Coca-Cola Bottling Co. donated beverages for the event. We had a crowd of over 750 people and we served 200 lbs. of shrimp, 25 dozen jumbo pretzels, 17 kegs of 'beer and an uncountable amount of soft drinks, Handy said. The crowd gets bigger 102 Endowment AuctionlAcademics every year and the auction is becoming a successful social event for the community, she said. In 1986 the Endowment Association awarded more than 577,000 in academic scholarships to 262 students. Fifty-six students received 56,100 in loan funds on a short term, emergency basis. All loans were repaid by the end of the year. In the past eight years, En- dowment Association funds have provided more than 5367,000 to assist over 1,500 students. The Auction itself has raised a total of 5155,519. Thanks to the support and the generosity of all who have helped, the assets of the En- dowment Association have grown from 540,000 eight years ago to over 5522,000 in 1986, Handy said.
