Henderson Lions Club Member Myrle Partridge was our guest on Tuesday's edition of Speak Up.

He talked about the upcoming Henderson Lions Auction, which is set for Saturday, Feb. 21st at Rookies Sports Bar & Restaurant in Downtown Henderson.

Tickets to the live auction will be on sale soon for $75.
Some of the items auctioned off last year included hand-made furniture, cottage rental at a Kentucky state resort park, a cabin rental at the Farmer and Frenchman, Grand Old Opry tickets, a two-night stay at a cabin in Gatlinburg, radio commercials, a
weekend at a downtown Henderson loft, a bourbon tasting event, a Greek fest, a catered taco bar, a landscaping package and lots and lots of bourbon! Last year's auction raised
nearly $40,000!

The money raised at the one-night live auction stays in the community. The Lions use it to support eye care and providing eyeglasses to those who cannot afford them,
grants to local nonprofit organizations and scholarships for local high school seniors. As part of it's sight conservation program, the Lions screen local school children in grades 1,3,5,7 for
eye problems, with the Help of the Henderson Community College nursing program.
