strict time -frame schedule makes
it as simple as an area code and
phone number to place a bid.
It's pretty unique," he said.
"You don't have to have channel
12 to. place your bid. We have had
people who call in on their cell
phones while in traffic in Lon-
don to bid on items because they
know our timeframes are exact."
This year's lot is packed with
big-ticket items that Good ex-
pects will .keep the bids rolling
in. So far, the total value of auc-
tion items is estimated at more
than $75,000, and includes al-
ways -popular sports memorabil-
ia, mattress sets and a complete
home -theatre system. Along with
that, local collectibles, like vin-
tage Champion and Volvo grader
artwork are expected to generate
considerable interest.
Something else that generates
local interest is the locals them-
selves, Good added.
Each year the auction commit-
tee welcomes the volunteer ser-
vices of local businesses and pro-
fessionals who want to represent
their business or service with
• stellar auctioneering.
"We always have guest auc-
tioneers to help t s • out," Good
said. "With two. for every set of
15 minutes for five hours straight,
we'll need 20 auctioneers on Fri-
day night alone."
With roughly 150 auctioneer
spots to fill, Good said that the
Kinsmen are always eager to hear
from interested parties within the
communities, Along with busi-
ness reps, past years have fea-
• tured professionals like fireman,
police officers, and politicians
who have stepped up to help the
cause.
They also encourage volun-
teer power to man this year's 12
phone lines, a duty that usually
falls on the supporting shoulders
of Kinsmen and Kinette -family
and friends.
Good said that anyone interest-
ed in volunteering shouldn't hesi-
tate to contact any member of the
Goderich and Clinton clubs.
It's been a pretty busy month
so far.for the auction committee,
who have worked nearly round-
the-clock to ensure that the 2009

installment is one of the best yet.
Every dollar raised during the
auction goes back to the commu-
nity, Good added, making it one
of the most effective and exiting
ways to lend support.
Each year, the Kinsmen and
Kinette Clubs make good on fi-
nancial commitments to local
initiatives, which have included
the CT Scanner for Huron Coun-
ty campaign, m;nor , sports, and
individuals, aloi.g with funding
toward the YMCA of Goderich-
Huron. Two time slots will again
be devoted to the Canadian Cys-
tic Fibrosis Foundation— Friday

confident there is something for
everyone. He has invited any-
