2021 PAINT THE PAPER PINK

2021 PAINT THE PAPER PINK LINCOLN DAILY NEWS Oct./Nov. 2021 Page 25 Thanks to all the donors for all the amazing gifts they have brought tonight. As always, this shows us just how generous this community is. The last words were a story once again about Roy. Smith recounted a conversation Karen Hargis had shared recently that basically echoed what John Logan had said earlier in the evening. When we began doing these auctions it was overwhelming at times. In the first year, Karen came in one day after picking up donations and said to Roy, it is getting too big. WE have to call a stop. Roy looked at Karen as you know the way he could, with that “it’s my way or the highway look,” and said. “Karen! You cannot deny these people the privilege of giving!” Likewise, we do not want to deny you the privilege of giving. So let’s loosen up those purse strings and get this show on the road! The mic was then handed over to Maske who spent the next 80 minutes pushing, pulling and coaxing the big bids that in the end brought in the big bucks for the American Cancer Society.
