After a pause in the talk, delicious, amazing cakes and pies were auctioned off by auctioneer Cameron Coward, a St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office deputy. Several direct auction items were also auctioned, including a turkey hunt and guided tour, a queen -size patriotic handmade quilt sewn by Brenda Dopson, a member of BCWN, and beautiful stained glass windows. The hit tonight was a heart-felt oration by Sheriff Scotty Rhoden, which carried three vertical ovations.
Sheriff Rhoden thanked BCWN for hosting the event, but felt heavy in his heart and mind to speak to the crowd on the tragic school shootings. He reassured us that BCSO trains its officers in this area and they will stand forcefully firm and will bring perpetrators if this ever happens in our city. The audience was moved by pride and appreciation for the sheriff’s and the presence of law enforcement that he provides for our community.
Thanks to all our sponsors, cake donors and silent auction donors. Without sponsors, as we know, this event would not be possible.
We sincerely hope that readers listen very much to all the speakers and that their presentations can assist each of them in making the best decision on election day. President Charlotte Oden concluded by begging the audience to come out and vote on 23. August and again 8. November every vote counted!
