Golf Tournament Auction, Wrangell, Alaska.

Russ has the privilege in being the auctioneer of choice for the Wrangell Medical Center Foundation Fundraising golf tournament auction.

What an amazing weekend this is! We'd like to thank the kind folks of Wrangell Alaska for such friendly hospitality.

2010 - Another great time in Wrangell Alaska for the Wrangell Medical Center auction. Thank you again Mari and Noel, for being such fine hosts and for making us comfortable on our stay.
We'd highly recommend Wrangell Alaska for your next fishing trip!

"Russ and Eve: thank you for doing such a wonderful job at our 2010 WMC Golf Tournament Charity Auction Dinner. We have gotten rave reviews about how much fun everyone had, with lots of compliments about Russ as the auctioneer. We consider the event a huge success – even bigger and better than last year. The live auction raised about $12,000. That’s pretty great for a little town like ours. Thanks again for your wonderful work."    Mari
