Please mark your calendars for the Meadowlark Hills Auction at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, at Cico Park’s Pottorf Hall. Proceeds benefit the Meadowlark Hills Foundation’s Good Samaritan Fund, which assists residents in Meadowlark Hills healthcare households who have outlived their financial resources. Vern Gannon of Gannon Auctions is donating his time and that of his staff members so that more auction revenue will go toward the fund. 

Donations will be accepted in apartment 401 from 2 to 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 21, and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 28. A limited number of smaller items, such as glassware and knick-knacks, will be sold at the auction. Anything not reserved for the auction will be taken to Trinity Presbyterian Church, one of our six founding churches, for their annual rummage sale scheduled for Aug. 29. We will not accept clothing, shoes, books and outdated electronic equipment, such as old TVs. Flat-screen models are welcome.

If you have larger donations that cannot be brought to #401, please contact Becky at 323-3843 to arrange a pick-up time. Anyone may donate!

Volunteers are needed the day of the auction to arrange small items on tables and dust off furniture, etc., but no pricing of items is needed. What a time-saver! If you’re willing to help during the morning of Sept. 1, please contact Becky. Transportation to and from Pottorf Hall will be provided.
