The Chair Affair is a fundraiser sponsored by the Mahaska Hospice Auxiliary to benefit the MHP Hospice Serenity House. Debbie Farrow, chairperson of the event, said Mahaska County is extremely blessed to have such a beautiful option for Hospice patients.
“Hospice care will touch all of our lives at some point, and this is our opportunity to give back for a wonderful cause,” Farrow said.
According to Farrow, the Chair Affair has close to 90 creatively decorated and donated chairs to be auctioned. “The outpouring of support from local businesses and community members for this benefit auction has been tremendous,” Farrow stressed. “We have some very creative people in our community who donated wonderful works of art. There is truly something that will appeal to everyone.”
Farrow said the committee is very excited by the response received from local artists and businesses that donated items for auction. “We have planned a nice evening with drinks and hors d’oeuvres. We encourage people to come and show their support for the Hospice Serenity House while bidding on truly wonderful pieces of art.”
