The Gull Lake Economic Development Committee held its first-ever fundraising auction from April 23 until May 2.

Lindsey Alliban is Gull Lake's Economic Development Officer. She said the auction was a huge success. "It was a really fun fundraiser because a lot of people kind of got into it over the ten days it was live. We had lots of donations that were really awesome, and we're really excited because we raised just over $10,000 for some of our Economic Development projects."

Money raised from the Auction will go towards project that they are working on in the community.

A couple of big things the Committee is working on this summer will be the re-facing of a shop in the community, as well as organizing a Creator's Space where local artists can display and sell their merchandise.

Alliban adds that the auction is a fundraising initiative that they will definitely use again.
