What help do we need from you? Please look through your houses, gardens, bams, yards and attics and find some of those good things that you meant to give the Lions last year and bring them to the big tent on Friday or Saturday. A Lion will thank you and give you a signed receipt guaranteed to be good at any local IRS office.

The Lions Club mission is community service. All proceeds from the auction are applied to local programs directed to benefit those who have the greatest need. The Lions will welcome gift certificates, antique furniture, working tools, collectible glassware, silver and gold jewelry or other merchandise that can be donated for sale.
Remember, it’s this Saturday, May 13 at the Washington fire hall starting at 6 p.m. and going on until everything is sold. You won’t want to miss this exciting auction. Advance reports indicate that some very good items have already been donated. So come early and have a picnic with us. We sell food too.
