            Funds raised by the ALMH Auxiliary are 
			used to benefit programs of Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital.
			
			 The public is invited to bring 
			their unwanted necklaces, bracelets, earrings, platinum, silver, 
			coins, rings, watches and more to the gold event. Those who attend 
			will have an opportunity to be paid cash for their unwanted items.
			 
			The book sale will offer unique 
			children's books, cookbooks, inspirational books, gift items and 
			more. 
			The events will run from 10 a.m. to 
			5 p.m. Monday and from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday. Both will be at 
			Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital. The Gold Refinery event will be 
			outside the Woods Café, and the book sale will be in the Steinfort 
			Conference Center.
