The American

Legion log cabin building will be the site this Saturday for a silent

and live auction.

Several hundred

sports memorabilia will be up for bid in the auction, given by the Southwest

Christian Hospice and Hope House.

The silent

auction is at 4 p.m., and tables of items will be ready for people to

write down their bids. At 5 p.m., a live auction begins with autographed

items from baseball greats Greg Maddox, Chipper Jones, Mark McGuire, Hank

Aaron, Mickey Mantle, John Smoltz, Ken Griffey Jr. and Andruw Jones.

Along with

weekend getaways, Braves game jerseys and dinner certificates, the event

promises to be full of surprises.

Admission is

$3.

Proceeds will

benefit Southwest Christian Hospice, a nonprofit ministry providing home-based

and center-based hospice care. This care extends to terminally ill persons

and their families throughout the metropolitan Atlanta area.

The hospice's

ninth annual banquet will take place Friday, Dec. 7, at the Cobb Galleria

with former First Lady Barbara Bush as the speaker.
