Washington County Supervisor of Elections candidate Corey Odom considers herself the big winner in Washington County Council on Aging’s Cake Auction this week, despite the overwhelming success of the fundraising event itself.
‘My family has a sweet tooth, and this was an opportunity to not only help a great agency- the Washington County Council on Aging- but also to give a special treat to my family’, said Cory Odom on Wednesday afternoon, when the results of the Cake Auction were announced.
Joined by Washington County Commissioners Steve Joyner and Todd Abbott, along with other members of the community, Odom helped to raise a significant amount of money for the Council of Aging’s annual budget, a service that helps our more mature population with many aspects of everyday life.
‘We are a Non-Profit, Equal Opportunity agency providing In-Home services to the elderly’, said a spokesperson for the WCCOA, ‘and we provide Homemaking (house cleaning), personal care (bathing), respite care (relief for the caregiver), and companion care (socialization) to clients of Washington County’.
WCCOA hours are Monday through Friday from 8AM to 5PM, and they are always looking for volunteers.
Washington County Council on Aging thanked everyone that participated in the fundraiser auction, including purchasers of the treats, as well as those who donated the confections for the auction.
‘A special thanks to the businesses that donated- Cakes by the Pound, Maddy Cakes, Sugar Rae’s, Imagination Creations, The Good Stuff, and Cakes by Marty’, said WCCOA representatives, ‘the cakes were beautiful and looked delicious’.
‘This is but one more opportunity for our loving, giving citizens to step up and support our community’, said Odom, ‘and the success of the event can be attributed to all who participated’.
