Paris, Tenn.–With the $7,151 raised Tuesday, the year-to-date total for the Henry County Helping Hand Radio Auction is now at $345,825–with a week still left to to.
Tuesday’s items were donated by Paris City employees, the BPU, Buchanan and Como communities and Project Help.
Auctioneer was Jamie Orr, with members of the Kiwanis Club helping with the phones.
Orr announced that anyone wanting to donate items in memory of Kathy Sadler may do so on Thursday, which is the day for Maplewood Baptist Church, where she belonged.
On Wednesday, items are donated by Van Dyke/Routon communities, and Spring Hill Baptist Church. On Thursday, items will be donated by Maplewood Baptist Church, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Peppers Automotive and Grave Episcopal Church. Friday’s items will be donated by the Springville community, World’s Biggest Fish Fry, AHC Healthcare and Doghouse Rescue.
