The 10th anniversary of Columbia's Good Shepherd Lutheran School was celebrated March 17 with a gala dinner and auction event. More than $30,000 was raised to support the school's financial operations. The school, which is affiliated with Trinity Lutheran Church, had 87 students this school year.

Many delightful and scrumptious desserts were displayed for the dessert auction held during dinner.
