At Gardner & Billing CPAs we’re excitedly forming plans for the Broadus Christmas Stroll taking place on Friday, December 1st! We felt that our Christmas Wreath Silent Auction was such a success last year that we’ll be recreating the event again in 2017. This year we’ll be designing a single Christmas wreath for auction and plan to open bidding on Wednesday, November 29th. You can bid online via our Facebook page or stop by our office to bid in person, up through the night of the Christmas Stroll.
