Ross also asked whether he could have receipt for his tax return. “We will take cash, but we will also take what you’ve got on your shelf that we can hold up and sell, because we have an audience that will buy a wide variety of the items.” “What are you asking for, sir?” Ross said. Go trade with that merchant.” Griffin said. We’re going to hold it up where it’s from. You’re going to have to make it real quick,” Ross said. We sell these things from hamburgers to a car. And we have a function coming up called the Hope Lions Christmas auction. And we are the largest Lions Club in the state. “Well, we are working our cards, these are our cards.” Griffin said, referring to cards Lions Club members carry with information about the merchant. Ross pretended to be busy at the desk when Griffin said, “Hello, Mr. Having closed this transaction, Griffin would find the next owner a harder sell. Griffin then explained that the Lions agent should ask how much the item is worth to provide some idea of where to start the bidding. Ross told Griffin he would donate a pair of shoes. There are always three or four hundred buyers that are there and we will tell those buyers what you gave us and them to shop with you later on.” But we’ve got to have buyers, too, and we do. But we can’t do it without you, because you have to give us something to sell. It teaches people how to function in society that truly they can make a living and pay taxes after they have gone blind. And we also have a life skills training center at Little Rock that teaches people to function after they have lost their sight. And we do this for free, if they do not have insurance. We do eye surgeries or surgeries for those who need surgery such as cataracts, or even eyes for those who need prosthetic eyes after an accident. We’re the Lions so that’s going to be a key note to buy eyeglasses. We’re going to put money in somebody’s hands that just had a house fire just before their insurance company probably knows about it. And we’re going to buy about 120 baskets of good, solid groceries that will be distributed just before Christmas to truly needy families. We’re going to support Boys State and Girls state. “Well, first of all, we’re going to buy some college scholarships. Now, what do we do with that money, you say? So this auction is what funds all of our activities for the year. We do a number of other things, such as fish fries, such as for homeless shelters and for our Christian Medical clinics, but that money goes to them. This auction is truly what funds our operations for the year. Now we have been doing this auction for 73 years.
