What do you do when the local newspaper makes a liar out of you? I read that the proceeds from the sale were just over $600,000.00 which was short of the goal. But then there was a paragraph on the symbolic loaf of bread, which, they said, sold for $100,000.00. Just a minute. I was there. I witnessed the bidding and final offer of $2000.00! There can only be one explanaition for this.
At the sale, there a number of booths where one can simply donate money to MCC with cash or cheque. Perhaps they total all these donations and put them under the 'loaf of bread receipts'. If this is the case, then the announcement of the auction price is very misleading. The way they play it up, it sounds like one person bid the large amount and paid, out of his pocket, the total sum. That would indeed be one very generous person.
