Tabby Liles, Charity Stout, Kay Hargett, Becky Cooper and Tracy Applegate organized a Quarter Auction event April 1, 2019, hosted by the The Tollesboro Lions Club.
The event was attended by approximately 115 persons, a full-house, conducted at the Tollesboro Lions Club Clubhouse on the grounds of the Tollesboro Lions Community Park.
The event was a rousing success, raising $1,213.48 for the March for Babies (organized by the March of Dimes), a national organization with the specific intent of leading the fight for the health of all moms and babies.
According to the organizers, who have been involved in conducting quarter auctions for several years in various venues throughout the county (the Lewis County Extension Office, Black Oak Fire Department, etc.), this was a very well attended event, the largest attended event since 2015.
The organizers also indicated that this event raised more money for the non-profit recipient than any event they had conducted since 2014.
This is the first time that they have conducted the event at the Tollesboro Lions Club. However the event was such a success that a second Quarter Auction Event is planned and scheduled to be conducted May 6, 6:30 p.m., also at the Tollesboro Lions Club Clubhouse, with the profits this time benefiting the Lewis County Little League.
The public is invited to attend.
