St. Mark’s and Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Churches will host a dessert and silent auction night Sunday, Dec. 6, from 6-7:30 p.m. at the St. Mark’s Church Hall on Allen Farm Road, Ashland.
There is a $5 charge at the door, but that will include all the desserts you can eat. Come and bid on some great items. All money raised from this event will go toward the heating costs at both churches.
This event is open to the public; everyone is welcome to come and enjoy some Christmas spirit! For more information, contact Church Council president Sheila Nemer at 227-8036.

This is a potluck and BYOB event, sponsored by the Portage Lake Tourism Committee. All community members, families and residents of the surrounding communities are welcome.
