Report from Benefit Auction Committee
Saturday, November 16th was
a very busy time in this little
town of Greentown. It all
started around 7: 30 a. m. as part
of the members of the Eastern
Howard Emergency Service and
Greentown Volunteer Fire
Company met with members of
the Greentown Lions Club at the
fairgrounds. They loaded fruit
into their vehicles for the
annual fruit sale here in town.
Meanwhile, other members of
the organizations with the
assistance of the Greentown
Volunteer Fire Company Ladies
A u a r y and the Greentown
Police Department were busy
setting up the Ambulance and
Fire station for the fourth
annual Benefit Auction.
At 1: W p. m. the auction began
with 160 buyers bidding for the
merchandise donated by local
merchants, church members,
and the community. Because of
the generosity of these people,
$ 5? 789.00 was raised to help the
less fortunatein our community.
Checks have been presented to
the Jerome Christian Church
and the Greentown Ministerial
Association in the amount of
$ 2,250.00 each. The balance was
put into the Fire and Ambulance
benevolent fund to help where
ever help is needed.
Many t h a n k s t o o u r
auctioneers, Dan Otto and Bob
Bailey, our clerk, Martha Otto,
and the people who unselfishly
donated time, energy and
merchandise for our auction.
Because of these people some of
the less fortunate families in
our community will have a
happier and better life this next
year.
We are looking forward to our
fifth annual Benefit Auction
next year.
Lions Continue Giving Tradition
The Greentown Lions delivered thirty- foGr food boxesto families
this year. The gifts were made possible by the annual Lions Bell
Ringing, the food collection by the Cub Scouts, and a donation from
the Eastern Junior High students.
