Annual fundraiser offers holiday treats

Fallbrook Women's Connection volunteers Ginny Breier, left, and Katie Clemens are in the silent auction area for the group's Nov. 15 fundraiser. Funds go toward expenses of the monthly brunches and three weekly Bible studies supported by Stonecroft Ministries.

Katie's apple walnut cranberry ginger pie, with the items around it, is one of the silent auction items at the women's connection brunch at the Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens in Fallbrook.

Guest speaker Carol Abernathy tells about her journey from wild child to sheriff's deputy by living life God's way.

Pat Bailey of Fallbrook takes a look at the purses offered in the silent auction. The annual fundraiser also included a raffle and a bake sale.

This "Frosty and Friends" basket contains three snowmen: a tin box, dish and wall hanging.

This silent auction set includes a decorated tree, fancy doll and angels with tree decoration. Stonecroft Ministries offers nondenominational Bible study groups in Fallbrook, Temecula and Murrieta.

The Fallbrook Women's Connection's annual fundraising holiday silent auction offers decorated trees, gift baskets, dolls and jewelry.

More than 90 ladies and two gentlemen attend the November Fallbrook Women's Connection brunch at the Grand Tradition.
